From Emma Darwin to G. H. Darwin [c. 23 November 1885]

My dear George

Bessy met D^r Foster at M^rs Prothero's yesterday, & after asking whether you had gone to Hunstanton, he said he thought you had better not delay, but take Maud to London, from whence you could come up & down here, or to Brighton— There can be no magic in Brighton over any other warm & dry sea place—

I dare say he may have said this to you; but I thought it better to tell you— I am not very well today & shall not appear, only ask M^rs Luard to pay me a visit in the study—

I hope Maud will be able to come, but she must not feel herself tied.

Yours affectly | E. D—
