Footnotes
The notes have not been found. Francis Darwin was in Wales (see letter from Francis Darwin, [1 August 1880]); he had been doing experiments that involved chemical analysis, and CD had asked Edward Frankland to recommend a trustworthy analyst to assist with the work (see letter to Edward Frankland, 20 April 1880).
Summary
CD sends thanks for further instructions for making a solution, which will be followed as soon as Francis [Darwin] returns.
