From Francis Darwin [19 September 1873]1
6 QA
Dear Father
I caught Noad today, he says that sort of thing is completely out of his way but he said that a man called Moore (whose address I have) would perhaps do it—2 he is lecturer in physiological chemistry at the Hospital & Noad said he was good at that sort of thing— I dont know him but he is a young man & I should think he would be only too glad to make some things for you— His address is Dr Moore 113 Brixton Rd. I am going down to Chatham tonight to shoot with Dicky3 on Sat— I shall come home sometime on Sunday if I possibly can— I neednt begin clerking till Monday so I thought I would take 2 days—4
