My dear Sir

Your last note contains much about measurement &c of which I know nothing & do not feel competent to form any judgment.1 But I have asked my son-in-law, Mr Litchfield,2 who is conversant with such matters, to look into the case, & he will call on you some evening before long to discuss the subject.—

My dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin

See letter from G. S. Ffinden, 31 May 1879. Ffinden and CD had corresponded about a possible overpayment for land bought by the Ecclesiastical Commission from CD’s sister-in-law, Elizabeth Wedgwood, who resided at Tromer Lodge, Down (Post Office directory of the six home counties 1878).
