From W. D. Roebuck 1 November 1880
Yorkshire Nat. Union | Sunny Bank, Leeds,
Nov. 1st 1880
Dear Sir,
I venture to take the liberty of forwarding to you by this post copies of such parts of our publications as have been issued, together with a set of our excursion circulars, in anticipation of anything the deputation may have to say with respect to our objects and the means adopted for attaining them—1
Apologizing for troubling you so many times | Believe me | Yours truly | Wm. Denison Roebuck | Sec. Y.N.U
Charles Darwin Esq
Footnotes
Roebuck was arranging for a deputation from the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union to present a memorial address to CD at Down (see letter from W. C. Williamson to Emma Darwin, 2 September 1880, and letter from W. D. Roebuck to G. H. Darwin, 25 October 1880). The publications and circulars have not been found in the Darwin Archive–CUL; Roebuck sent issues of the Transactions of the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union, which had commenced publication in 1877 (letter to W. D. Roebuck, 3 November 1880).
Summary
Sends the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union’s publications prior to the visit to Down of its deputation.
