From Emma Darwin to G. H. Darwin [27 October 1885]

Dear George

It would not be at all worth while to alter your arrangements about Rittler or Jane— We shall do very well without the best of waiting. Shall you not want a man to drive occasionally e g. in bad weather & to look after the horses— I w^d not mind expense for such a short time—

If you are going to be some days in London w^d you not like me to have Gwen— I sh^d like it; but as I am not at my usual pitch of strength I sh^d not see much of her but she w^d be at hand under my care—

I do hope you will be better soon— according to my exprience Rheumatism is very upsetting in all ways & sets every thing wrong or perhaps it is vice versa.

I am glad to have seen the Grange at its very best so cheerful & green—

yours dear G— | E. D
