From Francis Darwin to Horace Darwin [August–September 1883 or later]

Dear H

I enclose a bill for you.

I think the jerking klino is likely to be of use— I think it was Vines wobbling thing that I meant to say was not any good—

I am writing a paper now in which the jerking klino has been used.

I have just come back from the Br Assoc. I sat next to Prof Arm strong (of Edinburgh) whom I didnt like. He wanted to know all about the Engine   Prof. Ewing was next to him wh⁠⟨⁠o⁠⟩⁠ lookes nicer. This was at the idiotic Red Lion dinner   The Br Assoc is a futile concern I think

Yours affec | FD

Ellen is much the same
