To R. F. Cooke 3 October 1872
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
Oct 3 72
My dear Sir,
I am much obliged for all this great trouble which you are taking for me. The foreign editions which you mention are all right.1 Clean sheets need be sent only to M. Reinwald in Paris & M. Ijkema in Holland; for I have sent corrected revises to the German & Russian.2 It is very troublesome about the large size of the paper for M. Koch & Ijkema;3 they must of course pay the extra charge, but this I hope cannot be large. I think you are quite right about prepayment. I will write strongly by this post to the Heliotype Compy. & urge them on.4 It will be most provoking if we are delayed, after I had taken such pains to give the Compy plenty of time.
My dear Sir | Yours sincerely | Charles Darwin
