From W. E. Darwin 4 November 1871
Bank, Southampton,
Nov 4 1871
My dear Father,
I write a line to de Chaumont tonight to get him to ask anyone at Netley who has the best chance of seeing shivering fits to observe.1
I am almost certain I have never had your H. Spencer’s essays,2 I certainly have not them now. I am pretty sure when I last looked into them it was at Down
Your affect son | WED
