My dear D
I had hoped to have saved you trouble & called on you, but I find I hardly can with comfort to myself. Will you, therefore, be so good as to call here on me, that I may consult you & report progress—
Ever yours | Most truly obliged | Ch. Darwin

The date is conjectured from the fact that it is the only date on which a payment was made to Jones on a Monday, coinciding with a visit by CD to London. CD was in London from 21 April to 1 May 1866 (Emma Darwin's diary (DAR 242)). CD's Classed account books (Down House MS) record a payment to Jones on 23 April 1866, a Monday. - +
