Bassett. Southampton | ☞ (Railway Station | Orpington. S.E.R.)
Friday
Dear Sir
You will see by above address that I am away from home. We return home tomorrow, & if Dr Severstoff remains in London over Monday I shall have much pleasure in seeing you & him at Down on that (i.e. Monday) or any other day.— You must come to above station from Charing Cross, & I hope it would suit you to come to our Luncheon at 1 oclock.— There is a train which leaves Charing Cross at about the right time to reach Down at about 12 oclock (I forget exact hours) & you can leave us about 2 o clock.—2
Orpington Station is 4 miles from my House.—
Pray excuse brevity & this untidy note. I write in haste to catch morning post.— | Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
