To W. E. Darwin 28 October [1876]1
Down, | Beckenham, Kent. | Railway Station | Orpington. S.E.R.
Oct. 28th
My dear W.
If you are quite certain, it won’t bother you, put the affair in your Lawyer’s hands.—2 But it will give me no trouble worth speaking of to put it in Hacon’s hand.3 Please observe this.—
I think it wd be better to keep accounts square if you wd. send cheque for deposit money, & let me know amount, & I will repay you by return of post.—4
We were very sorry to hear of your being baddish: do not dine out again soon.— Poor dear Frank is wonderfully composed when in public & works all day long, but I cannot help fearing that he will not be able to go on in this manner.—5
We had a most nice visit with you my dear old fellow.6 | C. Darwin
