Dear Sir
Mr Murray has forwarded your letter of the third to me, and I have asked him to send you the cliches the cost of which is £3, and this sum you can transmit to him.2 I cannot yet say when a new edit of my book on Orchids will be prepared, as I intend to publish another book first.3 It will therefore be at least a year
Dear Sir | Yrs faithfully | Ch. Darwin
