From T. H. Huxley 20 December 1872
Athenæum Club | Pall Mall S.W.
Dec. 20. 1872
My dear Darwin,
I am utterly disgusted at having only just received your note of Tuesday—1 But the fact is there is a certain inconvenience about having four addresses as has been my case for the most part of this week—in consequence of our moving—and as I have not been in Jermyn St. before today I have missed your note—2 I should run round to Queen Anne St. now on the chance of catching you but I am bound here by an appointment3
However, it just occurs to me that Mrs Litchfield said something last Tuesday about you coming to stay with her—& I shall send this note to her address4
Please send me a post card to 4 Marlborough Place
Abbey Road N.W.
to say what time tomorrow I may call & have a chat with you My lectures are out today & I am free—
You may judge what a joy moving has been in this weather—5
Ever yours very faithfully | T. H. Huxley
