From E. A. Darwin 1 December 1864
1 Dec. 64
Dear Charles
I have heard from Mr Salt1 about the affairs of the late Edd Evans,2 for whom we are Trustees.
The property is to be divided into nine shares & distributed except one share belonging to an infant which we shall still hold (Consols) The whole amount is under £500. I suppose I had better tell him to act as he thinks best.
I have got your medal from Mr Busk—3 it is rather ugly to look at, & too light to turn into candlesticks
Yours affec, | E D
