New University Club, | St. James’s Street. S.W.
Dear Mr Higginson
I am sorry to say that I find it must be Friday— I will meet you at Charing X; the train goes at 5.5; our station is Orpington If you could manage it, my father says he should like it very much if you wd sleep at Down on Friday night & come up with me next morning— we can get to town by 10·30—2 I hope you will be able to do this, it won’t matter about my work the very least in the world
Yours sincerely | F Darwin
