My dear Father,
Our Brokers have at last bought £930 Leeds Corporation Stock costing £994.6.6 so that if you will send me a cheque for this sum in a day or two, the matter will be done, & I will send the certificate to Uncle Eras, who approves of the investment; they could not buy under 106.1
Your affect son | W E Darwin
