From Frederic Harrison to G. H. Darwin 15 June [1877]1
1 Southwick Place
June 15.
Dear Darwin,
I have no intention of pressing the Michelet scheme on your father or on any one. The indefatigable widow speaks so much of him, that I thought there had been some friendship.2
We go next week to Sutton Place till August, when we intend going in force to Fontainbleau for a couple of months, if the Prussians do not anticipate us.3
Yrs ever | F. Harrison.
