My dear Owen
I am very anxious to have to have ten minutes talk with you, chiefly about the mammifers of the Plata,2 & will call on you on Thursday morning at about ten oclock, if you will excuse so early an hour. If you cannot see me, perhaps you wd be so kind as to send me a line to save me trouble to, “7 Park St Grosvenor Sqr”
I have commenced your British Fossils3 with very great interest
Most truly yours | C. Darwin
