Footnotes

The date is established by the reference to the Peverel (see n. 2, below). The letter was torn in half vertically; the left half is now missing.
George Howard Darwin had been researching the Darwin family history and had informed CD that one of their ancestors had been steward of the Peverel to James VI and I and Charles I (see letter from G. H. Darwin, 24 June 1879 and n. 2).
