From E. A. Darwin 17 [1877?]1
17th
Dear Charles
Will you send the address of Francis Darwin if you have it.2 On comparing dates I find that my Father cannot have been the Exōr (he was 18 when W A D died) & so I went to Emma Galton & find there was a R. Waring D—brother of W. Alvey D—who must have been the Exōr.3 Thank goodness I have nothing to do with it.
Yours E. D.
P.S. George need not bring his Pedigree4
2nd PS if you dont know the address dont bother as I know his Solr.5
3rd P.S. Have you yet heard the great news & what do think of it.6
