From W. E. Darwin   16 February 1881

Bank, Southampton,

Feb 16th 1881

My dear Father,

Our Brokers have at last bought £930 Leeds Corporation Stock costing £994.6.6 so that if you will send me a cheque for this sum in a day or two, the matter will be done, & I will send the certificate to Uncle Eras, who approves of the investment; they could not buy under 10612.1

Your affect son | W E Darwin

Initially, William had suggested that Canada Bonds be bought for Erasmus Alvey Darwin (see letter from W. E. Darwin, 4 February 1881).
