From John Murray 2 February [1872]1

Feby 2
Dear Mr Darwin
It is only reasonable & just that I shd comply with your wishes regarding your own works as far as possible—& I shall certainly not refuse one so strenuously urged by you as that of allowing your American publisher to have a set of stereotypes of the new Edn. of the Origin of Species.—2 I have ascertained from Clowes3 that the cost will exceed £30— Appleton them for £50.—
I hope you will receive copies of your new Edn. between the 8th & 10th.
My Dear Sir | Yours very sincerely | John Murray
Chas Darwin Esq
