To R. F. Cooke 16 September 1876
Summary
Convinced Cross and self fertilisation is of permanent value, though an extremely dry, special subject. Thinks it will sell for many years and suggests a printing of 1500 copies. Asks that a good indexer be found and put to work. Appleton has agreed to publish it
and Orchids, [2d ed.], if Murray’s will supply stereotype plates.
