Henry Matthew
To:
Charles Robert Darwin

[14 Feb 1831]
Source of text:
DAR 204: 38
Summary:

Accepted CD’s "generous remittance" rather than go to jail; has pawned his watch. Will stay one fortnight to see whether he can do anything; if he fails he will go home. If he succeeds he will ask his father to pay his debts and nothing else for a two-year period. Is proud of the attachment CD shows.
