From Emma Darwin to H. E. Litchfield [before 10 December 1875]

Fr. denied at the Nash's *P [symbol for yesterday] *Q & met the Teesdales— He thinks Mr T. draws a long bow & he found after they were gone that the others were of the same opininoor. (he tells a story v. well however). Frank stayed behind & played billiards in the most dissolute fashion. I fancy he will go up to Q. A. tonight for a lark, if he can get some Temp. business done—

How cold it was *P [symbol for yesterday] *Q I did not stir out. Today it is just not a frost & my plants are come to Orp.

Tell me about yr Ogle dinner—

No I never did hear of such an utter want of delicacy as in Snow's offer—

Wm. is at the Cowper Temples today—

Return this. I think it puts Eliz. going out of the question.
