My dear Sir
I will confer with Mr Clowes about the Type &c for the reprint of Variations &c & let you know as early as possible.1
We have only 250 copies remaining of the new edition of “Descent” & I think it will be desirable to print off 1000 more copies to be ready for our Annual Trade Sale.2
Have you any corrections to make in the plates?
The “Expressions” dont move in the least.3
Your’s faithfully | Robt. Cooke
Chas. Darwin Esq
