Dear Mrs Darwin
Thanks for your kind note. Mrs Hooker is going to spend Sunday, with a Lady friend near Sydenham, she would have been delighted to come, but I think she had better wait for better weather. And now that your husband is ``restored to his friends'' I hope I may ask to bring her before long.
I am counting the days till Saturday
Ever most sincerely Yrs | Jos D Hooker
