From W. E. Darwin 20 April [1876]1
Basset, | Southampton.
Ap 20.
My dear Father,
I expected Frank & Ruck to breakfast when I should have given them this pamplet, but they have not appeared.2
I also send Col. Gordon’s testimonial.3
Dr Maclean has just come back from Rome where he has cured himself of an attack of Roman fever by it.4
I should like it back some time.
I do not believe in a company for such a thing except perhaps as an advertisement.
I shall like to hear about Henrietta, & hope Dr Clarke gave you a good account.5
Your affect son | W E Darwin
