To E. R. Lankester   6 May [1880]¹

My dear D^r Lankester

If you happen to be disengaged will you give us the pleasure of seeing you here next Sunday.— It is a very short notice, but we thought until this morning that every bed w^d be occupied.—

D^r. Andrew Clark, F. Galton & we hope Moseley² will be here.— If you can come, your best plan will be to leave Charing Cross on Saturday by the 5^o 2’ train, & we will have some vehicle at Orpington Station.—

Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
