From E. A. Darwin to Emma Darwin 1 September [1875?]1
1 Sept
My dear Emma
I am afraid the account today is rather alarming pain & tenderness less but a good deal of port wine ordered which looks as if her weakness was excessive. There never was anything so unlikely as their being from home when food is so important & so difficult of course to get.2
I shall try not to think about coming to you till the time of your return as I am now in an aguish state and any thought of moving is terrifying to me, tho’ being unwell at Down is only being in the fashion.3
Yours affec. | EAD
