To H. N. Moseley 23 and 30 January 1879
Down, | Beckenham, Kent. | Railway Station | Orpington. S.E.R.
Jan 23. 79
Dear Moseley,
I have written by this post to Sir John Lubbock, telling him how very highly I think of the work which you have done; but more than this I could not do as I have no idea what the duties of the Registrar are.1
Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
P.S. Jan. 30 th. | You will see that there has somehow been a mistake in the address. I have since heard from Sir J. L. who says that he will see that your claims are fully considered.2 | C. D.
