From Richard Dawes   24 March 1854

Hereford

24 March 1854

My dear Henslow:

The case of poor Shelford's widow is indeed a sore one: I forwarded it to a friend of mine in London Mr Duckworth of Bryanston Square who has kindly sent the half of the 5£ note this morning which I forward to you— I will send the other half when I hear of you getting this:

I am sorry not to be able to do any thing myself, but I am positively a poorer man than when was at Somborne & have many calls upon me which I cannot answer

Have you thought of the Clergy Friend Society— it secure a strong case for that but my votes there are at present engaged

Believe me | my dear Henslow | very sincerely yours | R Dawes
