From J. T. Moggridge 14 June [1866]1
7.a. Eastbourne Terr. | W.
June 14
Dear Mr. Darwin
I should very much like to spend the Sunday with you at Down—2
I shall take the earlier of the two trains you mention, or at any rate try to take it, thus having the later one to rely upon in case of losing the first.
With many thanks believe me | yrs. very sincerely | J. Traherne Moggridge.

Will take earlier train to Down.
