Augt. 3. 1875
My dear Sir
Mr Murray will be very willing to make the same arrangement with Messrs. Appletons for the “Climbing Plants” as with the “Insectivorous Plants” in proportion to the expenses.1
There is no hurry about the reprint of the “Descent” & there will be no difficulty about correcting the plates, or even taking out matter, provided always you fill up the space with new matter to the same quantity.2
I have not yet seen Mr Clowes about the “Variations”3
Yours faithfully | Robt. Cooke
Chas Darwin Esq
