Dec 19/79

Dear Mr. Darwin

Thank you very much for acting so promptly upon my suggestion. Perhaps nothing may be found, for such things are very difficult; but I felt that if no one knew the need there was never any chance. I wish much that work could be found, our friend is so sensitive upon points of money & I do not feel sure of his thinking it right to take Government money, for nothing in return.1

Thanking you very much | Yours sincerely | Arabella B Buckley

Buckley had asked CD to use his influence to secure an appointment for Alfred Russel Wallace; see letter from A. B. Buckley, 16 December 1879, and letter to A. B. Buckley, 17 December 1879.
