Down Farnborough Kent
July 29th.—
My dear Sir
I write one line to acknowledge & thank you for your long letter, entering in detail on the reasons which make you advise me still to continue this allowance of 15 per cent.—2 All that remains to be done, it seems, is to hope for better times. Before very long, I shd. prefer to enter into some more permanent arrangements with Mr. Hardy.3
I trust to your kindness to continue to look fairly after my interest & remain My dear Sir | Yours very faithfully | C. Darwin
J. Higgins Esqre.
