From John Lubbock 8 February 1869
15, Lombard Street. E.C.
Feb 8/69
My dear Mr Darwin,
I am very much obliged to you for the trouble you have taken about the school accounts, which I have asked Mrs Lubbock to return today.1
I much regret to find the funds at such low water, but I really think we might get more subscribers who only wait to be asked. For instance all my brothers are parishioners as well2 Mrs Lubbock & myself & the clerk3 were the only communicants, & the present state of things must be very demoralizing to the parishioners
