Rumor has it that Australia is short of cash; can only wait and see [see GA's 1854-8-17].
Further interim arrangements for one of the Melbourne University professors [see GA's 1854-8-18]; comments about timing by electric telegraph.
Mostly about family health, bills, and the war in the Crimea.
No summary available.
Thanks for writing about E. A. Darwin’s illness. Will never forget the comfort she was [when Anne Darwin died, 1851].
