To J. D. Hooker [23 November 1866]
6. Queen Anne St | W.
Friday
My dear Hooker
I will start, weather & stomach permitting, on Tuesday morning at 9o so shall be at Kew about 10o: Emma thinks she will not be able to come, perhaps Henrietta will.—1 We will go to Mrs Hooker’s house, & if you are not there will go on to Herbarium, after staying a few minutes with Mrs Hooker,2 then a walk in the garden & home again
Ever yours | C. Darwin
If I fail on Tuesday, I will try on Wednesday.
