Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
Aug 10th
My dear Sir
The fair way for the H: Coy: would be (& we could probably compel them to do so legally) to charge us for making 7 or 8 new negatives according to the Printed paper (though they told me they shd. not, if we took many copies) & to charge us for cutting & fixing all the negatives & lettering the Plates; & then to charge per 1000 or 5000 copies for the copies, according to the printed paper which was distinctly given me as an Estimate.—2
Yours very faithfully | C. Darwin
& we could spread the cost of negatives &c. over the copies supplied to Foreigners
