From A. B. Buckley 19 December 1879
1 St Mary’s Terrace | Paddington W
Dec 19/79
Dear Mr. Darwin
Thank you very much for acting so promptly upon my suggestion. Perhaps nothing may be found, for such things are very difficult; but I felt that if no one knew the need there was never any chance— I wish much that work could be found, our friend is so sensitive upon points of money & I do not feel sure of his thinking it right to take Government money, for nothing in return.1
Thanking you very much | Yours sincerely | Arabella B Buckley

Summary
Thanks CD for acting on her suggestion about getting Wallace an income; acknowledges the difficulty. Is not sure Wallace would accept government money for doing nothing in return.
