From Albert Günther [28 December 1880]1
British Museum
Tuesday Morning
Dear Mr. Darwin
I have only a minute to spare after returning the memorial which I sign with the greatest pleasure.2 Owen has not been seen or heard of for some days; & I do not know whether he is at home. Unfortunately, my relations to him are not of so intimate a nature, as to allow me to make enquiries as to his present whereabouts; if he had been here, I should have asked him without hesitation; but I do not care to intrude into his house.3 A letter would not do, as he may be from home.
In great haste | Yours very truly | A Günther
