From John Tyndall   15 February 1882

Peckforton, | Tarporley.

15th. Feb. 82.

My dear Darwin

If it be next Monday I will give your friend a plumper—but if last, alas! I have been out of town.1

I go to London today and will run down to the Club to see how matters stand

Ever yours | John Tyndall

See letter to John Tyndall, 13 February 1882. CD was soliciting friends to vote for Albert Venn Dicey’s membership of the Athenaeum Club. Dicey’s membership was balloted on Monday 20 February 1882 (see letter to W. B. Carpenter, 13 February 1882). Plumper: a vote cast at an election for a single candidate when the voter has the right to vote for two or more (OED).
