My dear Charles

This afternoon we had a visit from M^r and M^rs John Llewelyn, ¹ who are staying with the Vicar – It was nearly dusk when they called, but they are coming tomorrow to be duly lionized about the Abbey. Your mother & Ela ² leave here tomorrow morning for Markeaton. ³ Your geometrical theorem is quite correct in the reasoning, but old Euclid ⁴ would have been very much surprised at the nature of the demonstration, and would have looked twice at it before he accepted it.

I enclose 2 other demonstrat^ns of the same.

I subscribed towards Chapel Hill church in consequence of a very pressing appeal from the Curate, The Rev^d G. Jones. ⁵ which I enclose, and please to return it.

Your aff^te Father
