From G. H. Darwin [9 June 1881]1
Trin. Coll Camb.
Thursday night
Dear Father
I enclose Lawes’ name & address & also Frank’s letter—which by the bye had only just been returned from here.2
I have all but done my mathematical paper. It has been worrying my life out, but I hope to be rid of it soon.3 I hav’nt settled exactly the day for coming N. It wd. be some help if you cd. let me hear when Leo. and the Litchs go.4
Is not Troutbeck nearer than Penrith & cd. I have a dogcart to meet me there if I were to telegraph to you at Patterdale.—5
Ball has sent me a copy of his lecture from a Dublin paper but it is’nt worth reading6
Yours affec | G H Darwin
