To John Lubbock 10 August [1861]
2. Hesketh Crescent | Torquay
Aug 10th
My dear Lubbock
I heard from Mr Hacon this morning; & he with some hesitation advised acceptance. In fact we had made up our minds, from what you said, that unless Mr H. had been vehement against acceptance, to accept; so I telegraphed to him to write by this day’s post to Mr. Atherley our submission & acceptance. So I hope from the bottom of my heart that all is settled.1
Ever yours truly obliged | Ch. Darwin
