From W. D. Roebuck to G. H. Darwin 26 October 1880
Yorkshire Nat. Union | Sunny Bank, Leeds
Oct. 26th, 1880
Dear Sir/
I believe in my letter of yesterday I omitted to ask you whether the date provisionally arranged by our deputation was convenient— If not we will arrange to suit you—1
I am now able to give you exact information as to the composition of the deputation. The gentleman from Huddersfield will be Mr. George Brook FLS., my colleague in the secretaryship of the Union. In other respects the names stand as I first wrote you, except that official duties prevent Dr. Parsons2 from taking part.
I think it as well to send you, which I do by this post, one of the copies of the Address which will be given to a few of our members.3 The wording of the address is repeated in the copy & the signatures are traced from the original—
Trusting you will not scruple to alter our arrangements if necessary | Believe me | meanwhile | Yours truly | Wm. Denison Roebuck | Sec
Geo. Darwin Esq
