My dear Mr. Darwin
I must write a line to you to thank you for all all your interest and help about my election at the Athenæum—.1 Your name secured me a number of votes to wch I had no other claim
It has long been a strong wish on my part to get into the club partly because my Father2 belonged to it and in part for the very great advantage the Library may be to me. It has been a very great pleasure to me to get in—and I am most sincerely obliged to you & your son for all your kindness in the matter3
I am yours sincerely | A. V. Dicey
Summary
Thanks CD for helping to get him elected to the Athenaeum.
