From Robert Monsey Rolfe, Lord Cranworth 28 November 1862
Holwood | Bromley
28 Novr 1862.
My dear Mr Darwin
At this time of the year I become your debtor as my Almoner for the parish of Downe—1 I therefore enclose a cheque of which you will perhaps at your leisure acknowledge the receipt—
I was pleased to hear from Lady Cranworth a short time ago that she had seen & conversed with you & that you appeared very well—2
I hope that Mrs Darwin is now well, though I believe she was not so when Lady C. called—3
Believe me | yours very truly | Cranworth
