From George Howard Darwin [12 June 1862]1
My dear Papa
L. is unwell & the doctor says it is Scarlet fever so he asked me if it would be best to send home or to lodging so I said home.2
I remain | G. H D
As I thought you would like Mr. Williams to see him I have telegraphed to Mr. W. to go to Down so don’t send for him3
