From John Lubbock 29 January 1862
My dear Mr. Darwin
The Carpenters1 are not coming this Saturday, so if still quite convenient to you I should be very glad to spend the evening with you.2
I shall come down by the 3.30 train & drive straight over to down.
If however you do not feel so well, or for any reason would rather I came some other day you will I am sure not hesitate to say so.
Believe me | Yours affec | John Lubbock
