From Montagu Lubbock 10 January 1881
19 Grosvenor St. W
10th Jany. 1881
Dear Mr. Darwin
I hope that should you be the least unwell you will simply tear this letter up & think no more about it. Should however you be quite well, I thought you perhaps would not mind giving me one line of introduction to Sir Joseph Fayrer, should you know him as I thought you probably would.1 Perhaps in that case you would not mind saying that you are an old friend of our family—2 I ask this as I am applying for a vacancy at the Charing Cross Hospt. with which Sir Joseph is connected
Hoping that I am not troubling you too much, | Believe me | Yrs. very truly | Montagu Lubbock.
C. Darwin Esq |Downe
