April 12 1877

My dear Sir

Your parcel has safely come to hand & has gone to Clowes’.1

Mr Murray will have much pleasure in publishing this new work at his own expense & on the same terms as he has done with your recent works.2

I believe you do not wish the work announced for the present.3

May you have fine weather for your short holiday.4

Yours faithfully | Robt. Cooke

Chas. Darwin Esq
