May 26 1875
My dear Sir
In January 1869 we had taken a set of Electros of the woodcuts to Variations &c by your desire for Professor Canestrini & they were sent to Messrs. Zanicketti & Co of Bologna & we were informed that Sigr. Vincenzi of Modena would pay for them.1
Up to this time however we have received nothing & it is not for want of reminding & I fancy you yourself have written once or twice.2
I have no doubt a set of Electros, could be taken for £5. Our charge to them was £103
Yours faithfully | Robt. Cooke
Chas. Darwin Esq
