From E. A. Darwin [26? February 1880]1
Of course Mr. Salt2 knows where the money is to go, but I confess I don’t
EAD.
[Enclosure]
Shrewsbury
February 25th. 1880.
My dear Sir—
I have this morning received a letter saying that the inclosed Road bonds will be paid off on Saturday next.— I shall be much obliged if you will sign the receipt on each across the stamp where your initials are, & then forward them by the next post to Mr. Charles Darwin that he may sign & return them to me by the following post.—3 The notice they have given me is so short that there is only just time to do it.— Please forward this letter with them to Mr. Charles Darwin as it will explain the reason for the hurry.— I enclose a stamped envelope for transmission of the papers to him, & another in which he can return them to me.—
I am, respectfully, | Your obliged & faithful servt. | Geo. M. Salt.
E. A. Darwin Esqre
P.S. The composition is better than I expected, most of the roads paying much less.—
