To R. F. Cooke 17 December [1875]1
2, Bryanston St.
Dec. 17th
My dear Sir
I am glad the Italians have at last proved themselves not to be rogues.
It is clear they do not intend to bring out the Expression Book soon; I made it clear that 10£ was for wood-cuts alone, and they intend to have fresh Photographs made as they can get them cheaper than the charge from Heliotype Coy.2
No corrections for Voyage of Beagle: it has never been touched since first published by Mr. Murray.3
I go home early on Monday morning, and will write at once about Climbing Plants and Origin.4
Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
