From J. S. Burdon Sanderson 28 April [1875]1
49 Queen Anne St
Wednesday Ap 28
Dear Mr Darwin,
I have put myself into communication with L. Playfair but have not yet received his answer.2
I have taken no further steps about the petition. All who have signed it at my instance have done so on the understanding that it would not be presented unless an objectionable bill were actually introduced.3 In the meantime I will take no further steps without communication with you.
I will write again as soon as I have seen L. Playfair
Yours very truly | J B Sanderson
