To J. D. Hooker 22 June 1875
Abinger Hall
June 22 1875
My dear Hooker
I am very sorry to say that it is impossible for you to come & return on a Sunday to Gomshall Station.1 You might I believe come to Dorking, but this is 5 miles off, & wd never be worth your while, more especially as I do not quite like to offer Mr Farrer’s horses on a Sunday—2
You must come to Down whenever you can after our return home—
I heartily rejoice at the success of the Sec. business3
yours affectly | Ch. Darwin
