Augt. 15th.—
My dear Lord
We are very much obliged for your Lordship’s kind invitation to dinner on Saturday, but I am sorry to say that my health still prevents me going out to a distance in the evening;—and a very great loss it is to me in this instance.—
With our best thanks, I beg leave to remain | Your Lordships | Truly obliged | Charles Darwin
