To J. V. Carus 25 October 1876
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
Oct 25. 76
My dear Sir,
I have written to the printers for fresh sheets, or my last corrected proofs of the 3 missing sheets I send by this post six new sheets.1 I enclose the photograph as requested. I hear from Herr Koch that he requires 2,000 copies of the heliotypes for my Expression book. Some of the figures are so bad that new negatives must be made; this will cause some delay & cost; will you communicate with Herr Koch to this effect.2 Also please to thank him for copies of the Coral Reefs & Climbing plants, (the appearance of which I like very much) & for some other books.—3
I have an extra number of letters to write so excuse brevity | Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
