From Emma Darwin to G. H. Darwin [14 Mar 1883]

My dear George

We shall come home on Sat—& Bessy with us— She will arrive here on Friday— The last complication is that M^rs Synnot is ill, but it does not sound to me seriously so—but B— contemplates coming home by herself—

The alarm about Godfrey has passed over I trust— He went to see the excavation at Olympia knowing the risk of fever— they call it Olympian fever it is so common— He took a dose of quinine in his pocket & forgot to take it—

Hope held herself ready to start off—which she will not do unless there is a relapse—

We had a pleasant dinner at 27 Bry Sq^r & lunch at Cecilys &c &c— I am very glad Frank sees his way to making use of his work for lectures.

A letter from Leo. will appear shortly when I can get it from W^m   The weather is quite bearable now & I hope you will be able to go out of doors & play tennis— Hen. has a good deal on her hands for moving furniture into Kensington Sqr. There is no chance of their getting in themselves for ever so long— yours my dear G— | E. D
