| Description | Darwin has spoken with Sir Thomas [Farrer] who believes that the Law Debenture Corporation is a safe invsntment but one that will never pay high dividends, not above 6%. The Directors are able and hardworking, if cautious, because they are lawyers. Farrer's opinion of the City has fallen of late. Darwin thinks he will take a few shares and is influenced in this by Boys. Asks for more radio-micrometer circuits when Boys is ready. |
