From Leonard Darwin to Emma Darwin [1869]

Dear Mother

Would you tell papa that there are two numbers in which he is reviewed besides Dec 15. they are Jan 1^st and March 1^st, and there is nothing about him in the numbers between. My walk to the station was not at all bad as it was a light night and I did not get my feet cold. I have grievous piece of news I am out for extra drill tomorrow—
