My dear Mr. Darwin
Sir G. Clerk is to be the new Zool. Pres. My feeling in the matter was quite the same as yours.2
The Busks3 are coming to us on Friday 14th. & if you can come over on the Saturday I will stay at home to meet you. Indeed I will do so unless you write to the Contrary.
Hoping you will be able to come I remain | Very sincerely yours | John Lubbock
