Dear Darwin
I found out the name of the tutor I mentioned to you about whom you may think it worth while to enquire. I only knew him by reputation, not personally.
Revd. C. Bradley2
? Hatfield
I am not sure of his parish but it joins on to Colney Hatch—Eastward and is a short walk from the C Hatch station—3 You will find it on a map at once—
I am off to the north tomorrow night and hope to be home to lunch on Tuesday4
I hope Horsman5 will stay quietly, at least for the year he has promised: and that you will continue to like him—
Faithfully Yours | J Brodie Innes
