From Emma Darwin to Roland Trimen [22 August 1871]1
Haredene
Tuesday
Dear Mr Trimen
I am very sorry to say that Mr Darwin has been so unwell (ill I may say) that we are hastening our return home as soon as possible— He is quite unequal to seeing you which he very much regrets.2
Our stay in this charming place is a great disappointment, though I hope he will reap the benefit of the rest afterwards.
He desires me to repeat how very sorry he is not to be able to see you | believe me | yours very truly | Emma Darwin
