Emma Darwin, Vol. 2 of 2: A Century of Family Letters, 1792 1896 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Emma Darwin, Vol. 2 of 2: A Century of Family Letters, 1792 1896

I hardly expected such good fortune would turn up for me. I shall be in town in the middle or latter end of the ensuing week. I fear you will say I might very well have left my story untold till we met. But I deeply feel your kindness and friendship towards me, which in truth, I may say, has been one chief source of happiness to me ever since my return to England: so you must excuse me. I am well sure, that Mrs Lyell, who has sympathy for everyone near her, will give me her hearty congratulations. Believe me my dear Lyell, Yours most truly obliged, chas. Darwin.
