To Gustavus Fritsche 13 February 1875
February 13 18751
I shall be happy to see you here, but I am sorry to say that the state of my health seldom allows me to convene with anyone for more than half an hour.2 If next Tuesday (the 16th) will suit you, I would suggest your coming by the train which leaves Charing Cross at 10:35, & I will send my carriage to Orsington to meet you. We will lunch at one o’clock & you can return by the train leaving Orpington at 2 47.
Dear Sir | Yours faithfully | Ch. Darwin
P.S | If you cannot come on Tuesday Wednesday would suit me equally well but in that case be so kind as to let me know
