From J. D. Hooker [20 September 1867]1
Kew
Friday,
Dear D.
We shall be delighted to see you Sunday or Monday or Tuesday either—& I am sure to be in at 10 am— there will be lunch at 1 pm & you can stay or no as you like.2
I left my Mother better at Norwich last Monday but I fear permanently invalided, as the seat of her malady is not clear.3
Hoping to see you Sunday Monday or, (or and) Tuesday
Ever yr aff | J D Hooker
I felt so above suspicion, that I am not in the least elated at your having found that I had not mislaid yr Adam Bede.4
