To A. C. Thomson 11 February 1876
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
Feb 11. 1876
Sir
There has been some delay in answering your letter of Feb 5th, as the Rev: J: Brodie Innes now resides in the N of Scotland. I return the enclosed paper signed & witnessed.1 The other paper has been sent to the Registrar of Friendly Socs; but I cannot understand why he requires it, as on the election of Mr Pearson as trustee in the place of Mr Duck deceased, I obtained from him the proper form, and returned it with a request that he would communicate with the National Debt Office.2 This I suppose he did for the Commissioners did not object to the signature of Mr Pearson when we deposited £120, lately withdrawn from the P.O. Savings Bank.
Sir | Your obedt servant | Charles R. Darwin
