From E. A. Clowes 27 August 1875
Stamford Street | London. S.E.
Aug: 27th. | 1875
Dear Sir,
Mr. Cooke has sent to us to complain about your proofs being printed on larger paper than the book is eventually intended to be worked on as he says that it misleads him in ordering the paper and adds to the expense of the book because it has to be reimposed to fit the dimensions of the smaller paper; under these circumstances shall we in future send you proofs on the right size paper?1
Yours truly | Wm. Clowes & Sons | per E: [A:] Clowes:
C: Darwin Esq
Mr. Cooke did not know that you had asked us to pull your work with a large margin2
