My dear Hooker
Will Saturday the 16th. suit you to come here?1 If so, & I hope so, the Phaeton shall be at Sydenham to meet the Train which leaves at 3o 15’. (remember this). Bring some work & do stay as long as you can. Please send me one line by return of Post, for I will ask the old set to come for the Sunday.
I will, also, ask the Lyells, who said they wd. come this winter & bring some work & stay some days with me & I daresay you wd. like to meet them & I am sure they wd to meet you.
Ever yours | C. Darwin
As I must fix, please observe that you are to come in the Phaeton, as earliest asked.—
