From G. H. Darwin 14 December 1878
Trin Coll.
Dec 14th 78
My dear Father,
Frank was saying last night that we really ought to ask Newton again to Down & I quite agree.1
Could you screw yourself up to do the deed next Saturday & Sunday— If yes, I will write to him—or it might be still more gracious if you did. You know his address Magd. Coll.2
What a curious affair this is about the old gentleman of Worthing. I wonder whether he will change his mind. I have sent on the letters to Leith Hill.3
I have been skating today & yesterday—but I wish it wd. thaw— the thermom. stands at 45o in my room4
Yours affec | G H Darwin
I return on Wednesday.
