My dear Sir
I am much obliged for your note. The report of Mr Nash’s death was very precise, & we were deeply grieved; but we since heard through the Desborough’s that the report was false. I am heartily glad that he has recovered. Mr Nash & his wife have always appeared about the best man & woman whom we have ever known.—1
Believe me yours faithfully & obliged | Charles Darwin
