My dear George

You have been very good writing so often, & so fully about your health.—² I am very anxious that you sh^d. come home as soon as you can without too much fatigue— Partly on chance of your getting worse, & partly that you may consult some one whilst we are in London.³ We return to Down this day week.— I sh^d. much like you to consult D^r. Andrew Clarke, who Huxley thinks so very highly of, & who has done him (Huxley) much good—by diet in chief part.⁴

Huxley considers him a very sensible man— He is an advocate of milk diet to a large extent.—

If you possibly can let us know by telegraph day of your arrival here, that we may have your room all ready for you.—

It is a good room viz Bessy’s, & she will go to Henrietta’s⁵

My dear son | Yours affectionately | Ch. Darwin
