CD thanks JBI for contribution to Down school.
George [Darwin] has passed his examination at Cambridge;
Henrietta has been poorly.
CD writes in detail about difficulties with Horsman’s financial accounts and the affairs of the parish.
Surprised and pleased JBI liked his "big book" [Variation].
Luckily, naturalists do not seem to think he has committed suicide with the work.
CD wants to turn over the school accounts to John Robinson [curate of Down]. Writes of other parish news.
Will vote in person for Sir John Lubbock.
Has received JBI’s two letters; agrees with him, but does not know what to do about [the alleged misconduct of] John Robinson. Reports in a long postscript on vain efforts to confirm rumours. Suggests JBI come to Down to see how affairs stand.
