My dear Sir

I have today corrected last page of Index &c of Origin. I hope that you will think about the price, on which I wrote before, as well as about printing off copies of Diagram.²

As this is a cheap Book, do for Heaven sake have pages cut, like Lyell’s Manual, and never mind what the senseless booksellers say.³ I am very anxious on that it may have good sale. I hope you may consider it worth while to have it moderately advertised.

Pray hurry on the Printers; they have been wonderfully slow.

You agreed to send copies to chief Scientific Reviews; and do not omit Popular Science Review. As Mr. Dallas, I fancy, is generally rather short of cash, I hope that you will kindly send him the 10£ for Glossary soon⁴

My dear Sir | Yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin

Please send me 10 copies addressed to

C. Darwin, Esq Orpington Station Kent per S.E. Railway.

I will send a list of a few copies to be distributed in London⁵
