From W. E. Darwin [9? September 1862]1
Bank.
Tuesday.
My Dear Father,
A chemist that I know in the town, has just got a brother come home from Missouri where he has been living for 30 years; and has been taking careful metereological observations and the chemist has just been to ask me the name of any metereological society where he could send his brother’s observations as he does not like to destroy them before he knows whether they are of any use; can you tell me what he can do with them?
I did not go to dinner with the Atherlys2
Your affect son | W E Darwin
