From Henry Johnson 26 September [1879]1
10 Corve St | Ludlow
Sept 26.
My dear Darwin,
Thank you very very much for your prompt & kind letter and for sending me your valued Autograph.2
Altho’ I have in fact retired from practice—I am going to-day to see my Brother in Law Mr. Peters of Pitchford near Shrewsbury.3 I much fear his is a fatal disease, & I cannot cure him. I am here quite out of the way of all Scientific proceedings & hardly see any thing that smells of Science. Mary4 & I take nice pleasant walks together. I find flowers—and we here meet with a great variety of of fungi. Some are very curious & beautiful—quite scarlet. An old Lady of 70—is quite an enthusiast & walks all about to find them and take their likenesses.
Believe me | dear Darwin | always yours | very sincerely | Henry Johnson
