From R. F. Cooke 27 November 1878

Nov 27 1878
My dear Sir
Our report this year is not so satisfactory as we could wish, but I nevertheless send it to you, as you may be interested to know what we sold at our Annual Trade Sale & also the stock remaining.1
We shall have to reprint at once the “Naturalists Journal” & also the “Descent of Man” & we propose to print off 1000 copies of the latter if you have no objection.2
Have you any correction for either work?
I trust you are keeping in good health. With kind compliments | Yours faithfully | Robt. Cooke
Chas. Darwin Esqr
