My dear Mrs Huxley
I want very much to see Huxley1 tomorrow morning & I have just heard the horrid news that he is going down to High Elms tomorrow to meet Bishop Colenso.2
Is this true? Will you be so kind as to send me a card, as I must & will see him before leaving London.3
In Haste. Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
