To J. D. Hooker 12 August [1866]
Down. | Bromley. | Kent. S.E.
Aug 12th
My dear Hooker
I write one line to say how heartily glad we shall be to see you on Saturday or any other day.1 Let us know train & we shall probably be able to send tax-cart or pony carriage—
I will not talk over some of the points in your last letter until we meet;2 but I now plainly see that one chief cause of our difference is that you look much higher than I do and expect to solve the problem far more completely than I have ever thought to be possible. Your letters have interested me quite awfully as the boys say.
yours affly. | Ch. Darwin
