From G. H. Darwin 31 January 1874

Jan 31. ’74
Dear Father,
Please to tell Parslow that I’ve written to Carbonell that we will return the brown sherry & to send some other different & drier.—1
I have actually done the index—2 it is nothing of a job; & I’ve looked thro’ all the parts cut out in the print & scratched out anything which disappears from the book— some few are scratched out as coming under slightly different headings or on different pages to those referred to in the index. I will bring it up to town on Tuesday & leave it at No. 6 for F. to bring down to you.3 I have written to Mr. Norman4 too about my job & it won’t signify how soon you send your MS to him.
Yours affectionately | G H Darwin
