My dear Sir

I am much obliged for your note & the draft of ^£185 ’ ^s 13 ’ ^d 1, which I beg to acknowledge.¹

I am very glad to hear so excellent an account of the Farm House; & I should much like to see it next summer.

You proposed last half year to pay the Rent direct into my Bankers M^rs Robarts & Curtis & I should greatly prefer this plan & sh^d be much obliged if for the future you would endeavour so to arrange it—

Believe me dear Sir | Yours very faithfully | C. Darwin
