Aug 12. 1875
My dear Sir
If you can release Vol 1 of the “Variations” of course it wd. be a great advantage to begin at once, while the printers are slack of work.
We will print off 1500 No of “Climbing Plants” & stereotype the work.
Then comes the knotty point as to what we are to do in regard to Variations?1
Yrs faithfully | Robt. Cooke
