To Albert Günther   22 December [1880]1

Down, | Beckenham, Kent. | (Railway Station | Orpington. S.E.R.)

Dec. 22d

My dear Dr. Günther

I am extremely anxious that you should consider a Memorial which will be sent you in 2, 3, or 4 days.2 It has just occurred to me that may not be at the Museum towards the close of this week, & as delay would be very injurious will you kindly send me on a Post Card your address for Friday & the few succeeding days.

I trust that you will forgive me for troubling you & remain, Yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin
