ABSTRACT
Charles Darwin was a great writer and put huge enthusiasm into what he wrote, but his last letter to Emma before they were married has not yet found a place among the love lyrics of the world or in any manual on how to write love letters. The sincerity and truthfulness of that declaration are attested by every act of Darwin’s life and by every letter he ever wrote. Darwin never did go crazy. By word and action he was able to readjust himself and live a life as sane and sound as was ever lived. When Emma Wedgwood promised to Darwin in sickness and in health, she evidently meant it. Darwin at once began to convert the place into a glorious English country home. The Darwins saw much of general society in the early part of their London life, as well as many distinguished men of science. Charles and Emma Darwin could and did get along with each other.
