To J. D. Hooker   30 August [1872]

Down

Aug. 30th.

One line to acknowledge the cheque & your note.

I shall not send it to the bank till I have talked over matter with you.1

C. Darwin

See letter from J. D. Hooker, 29 August 1872 and n. 6. The cheque from John Scott was evidently not paid in, as there is no record of the deposit in CD’s Account books–banking account (Down House MS).
