To John Higgins   27 May [1850]

My dear Sir

I beg to acknowledge your letter received this morning, with your account. I have been advised by M^rs Robarts, Curtis & Co that you have placed a Draft for ^£183’^s 5’11 to my account.—

I am very glad to hear so good an account of M^r Hardy’s farming

Believe me | Yours very faithfully | C. Darwin J. Higgins, Es^q
