From John Murray 28 April [1869]
Summary
Has sold 400 copies of Facts and arguments for Darwin. It is a poor time for bookselling.
Last Quarterly Review has best exposition of Darwinism he has met with [A. R. Wallace, "Geological climates, and origin of species", Q. Rev. 126 (1869): 359–94].
Proposes to print 2000 copies of a new [5th] edition of Origin.

To John Murray 29 April [1869]
Summary
Thanks JM for Quarterly Review. A. R. Wallace’s article inimitably good – and a triumph that it appears where it will make B[ishop] of O[xford] and Owen gnash their teeth.
Delighted at the sale of F. Müller’s book.
Thinks he has brought Origin up to "present standard of science" [5th ed. (June 1869)].
Slow progress on Descent.
His horse rolled over him, but he is recovering rapidly.
