From R. F. Cooke 25 October 1879
50A, Albemarle Street, London. W.
Oct. 25 1879
My dear Sir
I am afraid you will think me troublesome.
But what do you think should be the Title on the outside back of the Volume
Erasmus
Darwin
—
Krause
&
Darwin
or can we venture to say
Life
of
Erasmus
Darwin1
I suppose as you wish the price of the volume to be as cheap as possible, you will not object to 7s/6.
This if the whole 1000 are sold, wd. give about a total profit of £70.
Yours faithfully | Robt. Cooke
Chas. Darwin Esq
