Octr. 22 1872
My dear Sir
The binder is now busy on your new work & I hope your own presentation copies may be ready next week, if you like to send them out—1 no copies must go as yet to America, but we could be getting them packed up & addressed.
So please to send me your instructions.
I have ordered only 250 copies to have cut edges as we find the trade generally to prefer the uncut edges.2
Messr. Appleton’s agent, has had all the plates &c3
Yours faithfully | Robt. Cooke
Chas. Darwin Esq
