To J. B. Innes 2 December 1880
Down, | Beckenham, Kent. | (Railway Station | Orpington. S.E.R.)
Dec. 2d 1880
My dear Innes
I have delayed answering your note of the 29th, until hearing from the acting executor, Mr Hensleigh Wedgwood.1 He writes to day that the land will be sold by auction with the house: this will be soon, but date not yet fixed. I have an abominable number of letters to answer so pray excuse brevity; not that I can remember any news of this place worth telling you.—
Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
