From the Darwin children 17 January 1880
Jan 17. 1880
Dear Father,
We hope that you will let us give you the accompanying fur-coat. We know that you will not often wear it and that you will think it too magnificent, but we cannot bear to think that when you do travel in winter you should suffer from cold; and so we hope you will forgive this little indulgence of the feelings of your affectionate children
William. | Sara. | Henrietta. | George. | Bessy. | Frank. | Leonard | Horace | (per HEL by his request)1
