To W. C. Marshall   30 October [1876?]1

Down

Oct 30th

Dear Marshall

I send you the enclosed.2 The delay is very provoking, but cannot be helped. I must grin & bear it.

Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin

The year is conjectured on the assumption that the letter pertains to building work that Marshall was undertaking at Down House (see n. 2, below).
The enclosure has not been found; it may relate to an extension at Down House that Marshall had been asked to design and oversee (see letter to W. C. Marshall, 19 September 1876).
