Midday, and will be at your house at Down about half an hour subsequently for the purpose of obtaining & attesting your execution of the deed of transfer of the £5000 North Eastern Railway Companys Debenture Stock, and of the Settlement.1

I have made arrangements for Mr. H. Darwin to call here on Friday evening to execute the settlement.

I am | My dear Sir | Yours very truly | Wm. M Hacon

Hacon was CD’s solicitor; Morris was probably George Horton Morris. CD settled £5000 of North Eastern Railway company stock on his son Horace Darwin before his marriage to Ida Farrer (CD’s Investment book (Down House MS)); see also letter to W. M. Hacon, 8 November [1879].
