My Dear Huxley,

Whilst returning home, I thought of your recent proposal, & it seems to me that if any such document was presented to a man like L[or]^d. Aberdare, he would say "what the devil do I care what he wishes" and as for Owen he would send[?] the whole concern to the Devil rather than sign — not that his signature signifies v[er]y much. —

Whatever you decide on all points that[?] will I do. —

Ever yours | C. R. Darwin [signature]
