First sentence: I am writing to as&lt;k if> Mr. Darwin could be pe&lt;rsuaded> to come here next Sunday either to early dinner at 1/4 before one o'clock-or to stay all night- He would see nobody but John, not even me, most likely, for I am not quite strong yet- &amp; I will take care his bed is well aired, &lt; > will tell me &lt; > likes &amp; has at &lt; > I will take care &lt; > all just the same- &lt;Jo>hn doesn't know I am writing this, but I have heard him lately so often wish he "could only have a talk with Mr. Darwin", &amp; I know he can't manage to get over to Downe now as he used to do from High Elms-so I thought I would just try what I could do to persuade Mr. Darwin to come here- If you will send me a line by post I shall get it on Sunday morning.
