My dear Dr. Murie

Would you have the kindness to send me a P. Card with Prof. Allman’s address on next Friday & Saturday, as I wish to communicate with him promptly, & believe that he is sometimes in London & sometimes in the country. I daresay as he is our President you will know his address.—2

Believe me | Yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
