Transcription: "Dear Mr Innes Only one like to thanks you for your very kind + pleasant letter, + for sending me more seeds; but you must not trouble yourself about the roots. I must join with Charles in emphatically refusing to class you with respect to unpopularity with some of your successors. Even those who had a pleasure in opposing you had always the undercurrent of feeling that you were a thorough gentleman + might always be trusted to do a kindness, + I am sure you inspired strong attach- -ment in the really poor. Everybody liked Mr Powell + regrets him. I really believe that Mrs Ff's extraordinary want of common civility has excited more dislike than many a worse quality would have done. I am grieved to here of the death of Mrs Swan to whom Mrs Innes was so much attached. very sincerely yours Emma Darwin" Letter, signed by sender. Sent from Down House, near Beckenham, Kent, England.
