Dear Mr Darwin
Thanks for your kind note.2
I am not yet quite sure whether we shall have people with us tomorrow or not.
If not I will come up & see you.
I send the Suites a Buffon on Myriapods.3
Any way I hope you will come to luncheon the Sunday following.
Believe me | Yours most sincerely | John Lubbock
