From R. F. Cooke 16 November 1875

Nov. 16 1875
My dear Sir
A set of Electrotypes of the woodcuts in “Climbing Plants” can be had for £3.0.0. & I have ordered to sets to be taken.
The woodcuts are electrotyped & inserted in the stereotype plates & will be done so, in the new edition of “Animals & Plants” & it would confuse not to have them done so now, for Appletons.1
I have ordered the stereotypes to be made & we will take care that they shall have them at a reasonable figure. Insectivorous Plants is still standing in type. Have you any corrections to make, if not we will stereotype that work like all the rest, except the Orchids & Expression.2
Yours faithfully | Robt. Cooke
Chas. Darwin Esq
