To J. D. Hooker 22 [January 1844 – March 1882]1
[Discusses books returned and desired and invites him to come for a few days.]
Footnotes
The day of the month is supplied by the sale catalogue. The date range is established from the date of CD and Hooker’s first acquaintance and the date of CD’s death. Hooker returned from the voyage of HMS Erebus in September 1843 and began corresponding with CD in November 1843 (see Correspondence vol. 2), but CD is unlikely to have invited him to Down before 1844.
Summary
Discusses books returned
and invites him to Down for a few days.
