Charles Darwin autograph letter signed on mourning stationery, likely in respect of his father who died the previous year. From his home in Down Farnborough Kent, Darwin writes to the family's financial advisor, Thomas Salt, "My dear Sir / I received the enclosed yesterday from my Brother, with the request that I should return them to you. / Believe me / Dear Sir / Yours sincerely / C. Darwin". At this time, Salt was working on the estate of Darwin's deceased father, and the documents from Darwin's brother were likely related to that.
