Footnotes
In 1860, 23 September was actually a Sunday. CD made the same error about the date in the following letter, but then corrected it.
CD refers to the draft of a letter to William Henry Harvey (see letter to W. H. Harvey, [20–4 September]). The letter to Norman was written on the verso of the first sheet of the draft.
A payment to Norman for copying, which may have included this transaction, is recorded in CD’s Account book (Down House MS) on 26 April 1861.
