Tells of the burial of Anne.
Thoughts after the death of Anne.
Asks FW to come over to feel his daughter’s pulse.
Arrangements for leaving Malvern after death of Anne.
Is glad he returned home to be with Emma, and is grateful to Fanny for following Anne to the grave.
Thanks for writing about E. A. Darwin’s illness. Will never forget the comfort she was [when Anne Darwin died, 1851].
Is flattered by a proposal that he undertake some reviewing work, but has many years’ work in prospect on his present book on species and varieties.
Thanks HW for the trouble he has taken; sends a cheque [to cover expenses of Anne’s funeral?]. Emma Darwin adds a note to FMW.
