My dear Sir

Soc. to say there will be a Council on next Monday afternoon: I shall attend it; it wd be an immense saving of time & trouble, if you could make an effort & let me have all the rough arranged by 2 oclock on Monday at the Geological Soc Somerset H:—— Let me earnestly beg you to put your shoulder to the wheel & get the job done

Yours vy truly | C. Darwin

Dated on the basis that this letter precedes letter to J. S. Bowerbank, 10 September [1850], in which it is made apparent that CD did attend the council meeting of the Palaeontographical Society mentioned in the letter.
