To John Tyndall 18 April [1873]1
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
April 18th
My dear Tyndall
I write a line to say that the total amounts to 1955£, Lubbock having given 200£. This will be paid in tomorrow & I will write tomorrow. Huxley does not return till Saturday or Monday night.— I tremble about his answer.—2 When I definitely hear, I will send a “private Circular” to the 18 subscribers, telling the total amount sent with no other details, & answer, either in extenso or in abstract, according to its nature. Whatever H. may think (& I quite agree with what you say in your note), it is a pleasure to think what a relief it will be to Mrs. H.3
My dear Tyndall | Ever yours most truly | Ch Darwin
