From R. W. Darwin to Josiah Wedgwood II 1 September 1831
[Shrewsbury]
1 Sept 1831
Dear Wedgwood,
Charles is very grateful for your taking so much trouble & interest in his plans. I made up my mind to give up all objections, if you should not see it in the same view as I did.—
Charles has stated my objections quite fairly & fully—if he still continues in the same mind after further enquiry, I will give him all the assistance in my power.
Many thanks for your kindness— yours | affectionly | R W Darwin1
