From Emma Darwin to G. H. Darwin 5 March [1884]

My dear George

I have just rec^d your Saturday's letter from Naples— I don't like hearing of your being feverish, so I hope you will write soon.

I feel my head so full of one subject that I can't write of any thing else. Certainly you do get to see & know more of a girl in that way than any other. (your scrap duly burnt)—

I feel afraid of saying any thing; but no doubt you will have considered whether following her to Florence does not of itself bind you— If you are really attached to each other I shall care for nothing else, & rejoice heartily with you.

We are just come home after our fortnights absence— 4 days at 31 K. Sq. were very pleasant—

The Horaces just back from Camberley, which they found very comf—& they like Bee v. m—as did the Williams when they stayed there.

Goodbye my dear G. send a card tol. often—& remember that I can keep what you say quite private, if there is a scrap written for the public.

yours | E. Darwin
