From Lord Ducie 16 April 1859

April 16 1859

Dear Prof. Henslow

I would willingly pay you the residue of the 30. s if I knew the amount of it I have no record whatever that will instruct me either as to the amount to be retained or the way in which the sum deducted is to be applied Could you inform me on these points

I expect I shall have to decline competition this year, as I have given up my flower show for one year, expecting in Sept to be fully occupied with the Volunteers.

Believe me | yours very truly | Ducie
