Has visited T. V. Wollaston, who is working hard but lives too solitary a life.
There are further legal complications with William Darwin’s partnership and CD’s solicitor wants to call on JL.

With some hesitation CD’s solicitor advises acceptance of partnership offered to William.
Personal regards.
William Darwin will make a botanist.
JL is thinking of moving to Brighton.
