The General Post Office sent one penny in response to GHD’s complaint, and demanded a receipt, which CD has sent. CD will keep the penny.
Suggests that GHD employ W. M. Hacon as solicitor for selling E. A. Darwin’s house, rather than Mr Salt’s agents; he remembers that firm as full of odious people.
CD is sorry he bothered GHD about the solicitor, but he boils with indignation to this day when he remembers how rudely he was treated by Mr Salt’s firm in London [40 years earlier].
