From W. E. Darwin [4 April 1875]1
Bassett, | Southampton.
Sunday
My dear Father,
I will write & let Strickland know, and he will be very much obliged to you.2
If you go to Athenaeum again would you mind asking if I was put down at the end again when I came on for election some years ago; as it is possible in a few years time I might like to try my luck to get in.3
If you are not naturally there I could get a line introducing me to the Secretary who would tell me.4 I hope you find London suits you & that Mother is getting over her headaches. I am enjoying Belt5 very much indeed.
Your affect son | W. E. Darwin
