March 9/65
My dear Sir—
Pray accept my thanks for so kindly meeting my convenience respecting the payment of the £100 and also for the Cordial expression of congratulation at the encouraging prospects of our Company—1 You may rely upon it the payment to you shall not be delayed longer than I can help—2
I think it would be desireable (if you would not object) to send your bankers a line to say you have heard from me and the matter is arranged between us.—at same time informing them that I have lately changed my residence—
If you should at any time be passing either here or our office (which is
2 Queen St Place
Southwark Bridge3
it would give me very much pleasure to shew you some of our productions.
Believe me My dear Sir. | ever faithfully yours | Fredk. Ransome
Chas. Darwin Esq
