Description
Spent some time with James Darsteter and thinks he'd be a suitable husband for Mary Robinson despite his physical deformities; Darmsteter himself promises the marriage will be platonic, as neither he nore Mary is "fitted for an ordinary marriage"; for Mary's sake, hope the engagement can be made to appear as normal as possible.
