To C.-F. Reinwald 20 October 1880
Down, | Beckenham, Kent. | (Railway Station | Orpington. S.E.R.)
Oct 20th. 1880
Dear Sir
I have just heard from Mr. Murray that the actual cost of the 195 woodblocks is 10£; & though Mr Murray tells me it is very unusual to allow anyone to have the cliches at prime cost, I have arranged that you shall have them at this price so as to aid you in bringing out a French Translation.—1 As soon as you have decided, pray write to Mr. Murray, asking him to have the cliches made & reminding him that I have stated that the cost to you is to be only 10£.—
Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
P.S. | I send Mad. Barbier 10£, & I am very much obliged for your kind letter on the subject.—2
