To L. H. Morgan 7 June 1871
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
June 7 1871
My dear Sir
I shall have great pleasure in seeing you here on any day which will suit you;1 but please to inform me beforehand. The best route is to leave Charing Cross by the 11.15 train for Orpington Station S.E.R.2 which is 4 miles from my house; & you will arrive here a little after 12.30. We will lunch at one o’clock & you can return by the 2.40 train. It grieves me to propose so short a visit, but my health has been very indifferent during the last week, & I am really incapable of conversing with any one except for a short time.
I shall have great pleasure in seeing & remain dear Sir | yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin
