From H. E. Darwin and Emma Darwin to Leonard Darwin [c. 1 November 1864?]

My dear Lenny

I have never written to you yet & you have been very good in writing. Horace has some more stamps I hope mine were worth something— Please bring home Napoleon as Miss Tollet wants to see it

H. E. D. (we have got the 2^nd vol of Life of Napoleon).

You and Frank had better bring home all your clothes, warm socks &c, but not your books as you will want to change into cooler clothes. One box between you will do I should think.

You will have to take a fly from Bromley as the carriage will bring the girls.

Here is a letter from William for George which may be burnt.

Goodbye my dear Old man. it will be very nice having you home—

Horace has been decidedly better since his bad sore throat.

yours E. D.
