From E. A. Darwin   [1870–81]1

L & N W Consol: Stock2

I have heard from Herries3 that he has received the Interim Certif: of the Balance with call notes attached. If you received the Certif: of the 20% paid on allotment thro’ your Bank it is probably all right & the Bank has got the Certif: & Call notes but it will be as well to make sure that all is right.
