To Horace Darwin 1 January 1880
My dear Horace—
My memory is so bad that I am not sure whether I wrote to the Bank, about your payments. I agreed to pay you the same allowance as before viz £300 (Aunt Catherines money does not come into consideration) & as £5000 was transferred to you, & this produces 200£ per annum, I ought to pay you 100£ viz 50 on Jan 1 & on July 1— Is this all right?1 Does not the £5000 produce £200 less income tax?— Please get your banking book & see whether 5.0£ has been placed to your account. & let me hear.— My overplus shall be divided in 10 or 14 days.—2
Many thanks for charming little compasses—3 May I trust you to make memorandum that I owe you for them, so that I cd pay whenever you come here.—
What a nice few days we had at Christmas.—
Your affectionate Father | C. Darwin
