L. VII
W.E & G.H Darwin to T. H. Huxley
Down, Beckenham.
Ap. 28 '82
My dear Mr Huxley
We wish to tell you that father has left you £1000 free of legacy duty with the following words
"As a slight memorial of my life long affection and respect for him."
This sum we will pay when all necessary matters are arranged. We all hope that you and Mrs Huxley and you will be glad to hear that our mother is wonderfully well and calm, and we think is now very happy in the thought that father is now in Westminster Abbey.
Yours affectionately
W. E. Darwin.
G. H. Darwin
P.S. A similar legacy is left to Mr Hooker.
