To J. D. Hooker [22 May 1847]1
Down Farnborough Kent
Saturday
My dear Hooker
I do not know whether this will find you at home, but if so & you are disengaged, shall I come for a few hours talk on Friday Morning next, stomacho volente,— Send me one line by return of Post, which I apprehend I shall get on Tuesday Morning, or at latest on Wednesday before I start.—
I hope Sir William is better; if not, of course put me off.
Ever yours | C. Darwin
