Augt. 26 1872

My dear Sir

So let it be. I have now ordered from the Heliotype Company 2000 Sets for ourselves & 3000 sets for Appleton to begin with.1

I have directed Clowes to send into Appleton’s agent here, a set of stereotype plates of the work, as you send it to press & the woodcuts.2

Yours faithfully | Robt. Cooke

C. Darwin Esq

Charles Layton, the agent of the US publisher D. Appleton & Co., had originally asked for 5000 copies of the heliotypes for Expression (letter to R. F. Cooke, 15 August 1872). Cooke had written to Layton about the charges for the heliotypes (see letter from R. F. Cooke, 21 August 1872).

William Clowes & Sons were the printers of Expression.
