Title
Emma Darwin (Emma Wedgwood) to Charles Darwin [20–21 Jan 1839]
Description
I have not been able to catch her in a reflecting mood, to make yr observation but she told me a fact which I think quite worthy to go down in your book along with the baby’s nods & winks viz. that when she coughs very sharply in the dark sparks come out of her eyes as if she had received a blow.
The baby was Hensleigh Wedgwood’s son Ernest, born in 1838.
