My dear Mr Darwin
I send you my Cheque for the Downe Charities of which you are so good as to be the Guardian—1
I suppose this is the proper time for the payment, inasmuch as I have just received the enclosed unsigned receipt but you will know how to deal with the matter properly2
Yours very truly | Cranworth
