To Francis Darwin [18 December 1881]1
[4 Bryanston Street, London.]
Sunday
My dear F.
As the enclosed contains a cheque, I have thought it best to send it without the delay of a single day.—2 We have been this morning to Huxley., who is working on mould-diseased salmon, & was much interested to hear about Murray’s work, to whom he will write.—3
We come home on Tuesday, viâ Bromley, by train which leaves Victoria Station at 10o 20′. Enquire whether a P. card to this effect reached the servants.—4 Dr. A. Clark finds that my heart is perfectly right, & that the pain & rapid intermittent pulse, must have been only some indirect mischief5
your affec. Father C. D.
