50A, Albemarle Street, London. W.

April 21 1875

My dear Sir

I hope Messrs. Clowes are getting on as fast as you desire with the proofs of your new work, as the sooner we can publish so much the better.1

You will be glad to hear we have received this morning a remittance from Dr. Kowerskey of St. Peterburgh with an expression of his regret, at the delay.2

I forgot to mention when you were here, that we have still remaining here about 400 copies of “Mr Wright’s pamphlet” & 450 of “Muller’s Facts”3

Yours faithfully | Robt. Cooke

Chas. Darwin Esq
