My dear Darwin

After all the trouble I have given you and others, and after getting a cordial consent from all I had written to—including M^rs. FitzRoy—I find that unknown to me and to some others the daughter of one of the Committee with some lady friends had already adopted Jemmy’s younger grandson—& sent out names they wished him to be called. So both are provided for though not in the way I had hoped for.¹

I therefore return you the cheque you so kindly sent— I am very glad to hear you keep so well and can do so much of your interesting work²

With our kind regards to M^rs. Darwin and all your circle

Believe me Dear Darwin | Your sincere friend | B. J. Sulivan
