CD’s sister-in-law, S. E. Wedgwood, is willing to refund £10 of the money paid for her land if the Ecclesiastical Commissioners will write saying she ought to do so, or if a qualified surveyor proves that the first measurement was wrong.

Thanks CD for another letter [of his father’s].
Cannot call to mind the story about the robber [see Erasmus Darwin, pp. 64–5].
Sends a letter [missing] on the chance that GHD might give the writer information about tides.
Rejoices at GHD’s friendship with Sir W. Thomson and grand vein of research he has struck on.
First draft of life of Dr [Erasmus] D[arwin] is nearly finished.
The official parish tithe map shows that a greater error than at first thought was made in measuring Miss Wedgwood’s land. She was overpaid £15 10s.
Thanks FAG for "the curious case of inheritance" [see 12064].
