Inquires concerning a possibility of searching old deeds about the Darwin family history.
Has written to Col. J. L. Chester [genealogist] to ask whether he would like to see the deeds [for Darwin genealogy, see Emma Darwin 2: 237].
CD thinks nothing had better be done about the deeds at present.
Henrietta thinks Erasmus Darwin almost too dull to publish.
Sorry to hear Henrietta’s opinion of the [Erasmus Darwin] proofs. GHD did not think it dull. He makes some suggestions.
Asks GHD to send name and address of tailor from whom he got the [LL.D.] gown to W. B. Richmond.
Erasmus thinks CD should give a copy of Erasmus Darwin to Henry Parker.
