My dear Sir

We think the man’s name is Linnstrom, but have no list to refer to. The Electro’s will be £10.0.0   The 500 Heliotypes £37.10.0 on paper the same size as our English edition.1

We printed 1250 Copies of “Forms of Flowers” & have about 150 remaining.2

Your’s faithfully | Robt. Cooke

Chas. Darwin Esq
