To Francis Darwin [after 27 December 1880]1
[Down.]
My dear F.
Your water-proof coat was left behind, & then your leggings were found, so we have sent off 2 parcels by Rail to you.—2
Enclosed 2 letters.—3 The D. of Argyll, hurrah, has written most civilly to say that he has written to Mr Gladstone to say that he highly approves of pension for Wallace.—4 The Duke wants to come to Down—the Lord have mercy on me—but I shall write & offer to call on him when next in London.—5 There is Bot Zeitung with article by Stahl on relation of forms of cells to intensity of Light—6 I will not send it unless so new—
Yours affect.— Kiss Dubbah7 for me | C. D.—
