To John Lubbock 24 April [1855]
Down.
Ap. 24th.—
Dear Lubbock
I do not see a word to correct or a suggestion to make on your Paper.1 It appears to me a nice & interesting notice, & I suppose you mean to send it to theannals.—2
I am not surprised at your not having time lately to do much, I am only astonished at your ever finding time to work at Nat. History.
I shall be delighted to see you whenever you may have leisure to come.— Next week I shall probably be from home.—
Have you any surplus stock of F. W. Mollusca3 for I want some for my little vivarium with its one plant of Anacharis.4
Most truly yours | C. Darwin
I was very sorry I was not able to come for both your last very kind invitations.—
