DescriptionHuggins was sad to decline Larmor's visit, but was 'suffering so much' that she did not wish him to come. She speaks of how dear Larmor was to the late William Huggins, with Margaret noting that Larmor 'had a place - and a large one- in his heart, wholly your own'. She is extremely sorrowful about the loss of her husband William Huggins, noting that they were 'so absolutely one' and that his loss is strongly felt.
