From Emma Darwin to G. H. Darwin 21 July [1893]

My dear George

I hope you will be going to K— Sq^r— I am r. alarmed at the Opera—but Maud is not rash—- We have had 3 days of soaking rain, which I enjoy— everything is green & I am turning out the cows on the 29^th   W^m Snow wants to hire the grazing, & I will refer him to you— As he is my coal merchant I have a handle over him— L. & B. come late this evg—so L. will have 2 whole days of rest. I am afraid he is becoming v. tired. W^m went on Wed. He & S. & B. took a drive to Westerham for the view & poking about— Squeery's Park &c— S. enjoys seeing things w. a very fresh eye & she is really stronger.

Bessy goes tomorrow to the Allens for 2 or 3 days. She thinks of going to see Bernard—

I keep on reading the Debates & Sara helps me—

Lord Randolph made as furious attack on the Gov^t about the Irish officials as on every other part of the bill—but A. J. B. gave Morley credit for wishing to do justice. I miss the dear little faces & sounds about the house. Now we are so few I lunch in the dining room—

yours my dear George

If I have any interesting news from L. I will tell you—

my best love to Maud— | E. Darwin—

I rec^d your letter & cheque for B. Pearce
