Octr. 14. 1881

My dear Sir

We have sent a copy of Worms to Annals of Natural History, but I did not know that Mr Dallas edited it.1

We did send a copy to the “Popular Science Review” which has Mr Dallas’ name on the cover as Editor, so he will have 2 copies.2

We hope to get the Reprint ready by next Wednesday.3

Yours faithfully | Robt. Cooke

Chas. Darwin Esq

William Sweetland Dallas was one of four editors of Annals and Magazine of Natural History. An unsigned essay review of Earthworms appeared in the December 1881 issue of the journal, probably written by Dallas ([Dallas] 1881).
The Popular Science Review was a quarterly publication; the final issue was published in October 1881. Dallas had been the editor since 1877.
