My dear George

You will like to hear a better account of F. Dr Moore came yesterday & he is quite confirmed in his first opinion that the heart is only very weak & afflicted by indigestion, the arteries also being old & stiff —

[2]

He approves of Dr Clark's diet & does not wish for more stimulants or more food. We shall have him again next week; as his state is very stationary. He certainly finds being carried upstairs (in a carrying chair Jackson fetched yesterday)

[3]

a benefit & he escaped pain entirely yesterday. It will be nice to have you back —

yours E. Darwin
