To J. D. Hooker 18 [May 1859]1
Down.
18th
My dear Hooker
My health has quite failed. I am off tomorrow for a week of Hydropathy.—2 I am very very sorry to say that I cannot look over any proofs in this week, as my object is to drive the subject out of my head.3 I shall return tomorrow week. If it be worth while, which probably it is not, you could keep back any proof till my return home
In Haste | Ever yours | C. Darwin
Summary
Too ill to examine proofs of JDH’s Flora Tasmaniae [The botany of the Antarctic voyage, pt III].
