Bank, Southampton,

Dec 29 1881

My dear Father,

It is an allotment to “the Trust” of £299 North East Railway Consols on two payments of £149.10— so that it is now paid. but I am sorry to say it cannot come into this half year I fancy, as they will not receive it probably till due on January 2nd.. I hold it & will place with Trust funds1

I hope the keys are found. | Your affect son | WED

The North East Railway consols (or bonds) were part of Emma Darwin’s trust (see CD’s Investment book (Down House MS), p. 152). See also letter from W. E. Darwin, [13 March 1881] and n. 5.
