My dear Father.
Will you please send me the 2 valuations of your property to Cambridge tomorrow.2
I cannot help fearing I have made some mistake, & I should like to cheque it with George.— It would be very disagreeable to me, if I have made a mistake in the total the daughters will have and so have guided you in the ratio in which you leave your property.
I think I am right in taking Mother’s settlement money as being divided equally among all.3 This is one of the points which I wish to check
Your affect son | W. E. Darwin
