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.
They are impatient for CD’s arrival.
EW is reading F. Head’s "gallop" [Rapid journeys across the Pampas (1826)] "to get up a little knowledge for him".
CD has nearly settled in favour of living in Cambridge.
CD will not get to Maer that week. The Langtons are leaving and will meet him at Shrewsbury.
Tells of the pleasure that CD’s visit gave the family.
The Darwin family are anxious for FEEW’s and Hensleigh’s opinions of CD’s journal. EW is convinced that Henry Holland is wrong if he thinks it not worth publishing.
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.
