To G. H. Darwin [17 November 1873]1
[2 Bryanston Street, London.]
Monday morning—
My dear G.—
Many thanks for your letter & I am very very sorry to hear so poor an account of yourself.— What pleasant society you have & could have in Cambridge if you were stronger.—2
Mamma cooly says that my money signifies more to all of you than to me—so put me down for 75£—ie if the affair goes on after we hear from Dohrn3
Ever yours | C. Darwin
