My dear Sir

I am very much obliged for your note of the 13th. & I write now merely, in answer to your query, to say that I will of course leave the month of February to you for looking out for an investment for me, & I much hope that you may succeed.1

I remain, dear Sir | yours sincerely | C. Darwin

Salt’s letter has not been found, but see this volume, Supplement, letter to Thomas Salt, 12 November [1849]. CD had asked Salt to look out for a new investment for some money that he expected to be repaid to him in March 1850.
