From E. A. Darwin 3 March 1867
3 March 1867
Dear Charles
I am not quite sure that this is not a duplicate & perhaps the other is within my will— It is only to tell you that I promised Mark that you would continue the payment of the £20 per annum after my death. The house I give him rent free—1
yours | Eras Darwin
C R Darwin Esq
Payable 1st May & Nov
