My dear Sir
We have remaining about 270 copies of the Movements of Plants.1 Perhaps the best course wd. be to work off 250 more copies & then break up the type.2
If you think so, have you any corrections you wd. like to make previously.
Yours faithfully | Robt. Cooke
Chas. Darwin Esq
I send you by post an early copy of Worms, for yr approval.3 Keep it quiet. You need not return it. The price we propose is 9/-
