[in another hand] Lady Derby

Letter of CD to Lady Derby referred to

copied 1897

[Above text of letter:] You can see original later if you wish it.

Dear Sir

Lady D. assures me this is a true copy. It can be dated approximately by finding date of Crookes' article in Pop. Sc. Review or (I think) in that other defunct review wh. had an orange cover. I see you have not marked the oak chest to come to Camb. Where shall I deposit the geological specimens?

The old candle lamp is coming to you.

Yours

GHD
