To G. R. Waterhouse 10 [June 1844 – March 1845]1
Down Bromley Kent
10th
My dear Waterhouse
We shall be truly glad to see Mrs. Waterhouse, yourself & children on Wednesday. I am ashamed to say I forget what was the train, which we agreed you were start by: but please let it be, the train which leaves the Bricklayer’s Arms at 2o ’ 20’ & which reaches Croydon at about 3. olock.— My Phaeton (one chesnut horse) shall be there (& shall wait for one later train)
I send the card again as it may be useful about the omnibuses: please bring it with you.—
Ever yours | C. Darwin
N.B. Have mercy on people, like myself, with bad memories & put your address to every letter,—I was in despair trying to remember & search your your address.—
