My dear M^r Murray

Many thanks for your note. It really makes no difference to me whether you give me a Bill, or a cheque at the time proposed, for the $\frac{2}{3}$ profits, i.e. ^£315,— Pray do whichever seems best to you. I have been vexed to find that some of my friends & as I hear some booksellers, complain of the type of the new Edit. of the Origin.²

I found no difficulty in reading the proofs, & my eyesight now is not very good; yet the lines now do seem to me not very distinct.— But there is no help for it, so it is no use thinking about it.—

Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
