To V. O. Kovalevsky 17 August 1872
[Leith Hill Place, Surrey.]
Aug 17. 1872
My dear Sir
The cost of the 7 plates which will include 30 figures, is greater than I expected, viz £75 per 1000 copies, paper included. This will increase the price of yr tr. by 1s/6d per copy. I have gone into details & Mr Murray has made a very small charge for commission.1
Please to order from Mr. M. as many copies as you think fit— yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
Footnotes
CD had been corresponding with John Murray’s partner, Robert Francis Cooke, on the production costs of Expression. On the increased charges for the plates, see the letter from R. F. Cooke, 16 August 1872.
Summary
Cost of plates [for Expression] is greater than expected: £75 per 1000 copies.
