To John Higgins   18 July [1859]1

Down Bromley Kent

July 18th

My dear Sir

I am very much obliged for your note.2 I have written to Sir Francis to say that without revoking the right of shooting over Beesby, granted to you. I shall be happy to allow Mr Huish to shoot over the Farm.3 So that affair is well settled.

With my thanks | Pray believe me | My dear Sir | Yours very faithfully | C. Darwin
