Octr. 11 1872
My dear Sir
I have written to Clowes to say if they have not already sent off some of the Stereotypes to Appleton’s to do so forthwith & I have written to their agent here, to look after Messrs. Clowes & have sent him this day 3000 sets of the Heliotypes & said I hope the remaining 2000 will be with him next week.1
You ought to have received a letter from me about the Title &c of yr work, but from what I hear, they have now all been returned for press. Our Annual Trade Sale is fixed for Nov. 8th. & I therefore hope we may publish your work on the 12th.2
I have written to ask yr wishes as to binding.3
Yours faithfully | Robt. Cooke
Chas. Darwin Esqr.
