Octr. 26 1872
My dear Sir
I dont quite understand about M. Reinwald.
He has had a perfect set of the sheets of your new work & acknowledged them & he has paid for 500 sets of Heliotypes & the Electros & we hope to despatch them to him next week.1
I dont know what they cd. afford to give for an edition of only 500 Copies!!! which is what he said his edition wd. consist of.2
I send you one copy of your book by post. We have 100 Copies here now.
Yours faithfully | Robt. Cooke
C. Darwin Esq
