From J. D. Hooker 23 June 1864
Kew
June 23d/64
My dear Darwin
We hope to leave for Ireland on Friday or Saturday, & spend a week or two in Wicklow with Dr & Mrs Harvey—1 I must be back by the 21st. for examinations at the London University.2 I shall have to see some Gardens at Dublin & shall remember you if I see any thing scandent that can be of use. I am very much annoyed at having to leave home now matters are in such confusion in the Garden but it is now or never with me & I am wearied out. As ill-luck will have it our new Curator is far from well, & the workmen &c take great advantage of all such contretemps.3
Ever yr affec | J D Hooker
