My dear George
I am very sorry that I bothered you about the solicitor; but I boil to this day with indignation when I remember how rudely I was treated by Mr. Salts former agents in London, so that I left the office without doing my business & went to another solicitor—2 You seem to have managed everything excellently & I do not wish for any shadow of change.— I hope that you will not be knocked up, for it must have been very hard work.—
Yours affectionately | Ch. Darwin
