To J. S. Henslow   31 March [1853]

Down Farnborough Kent

March 31st

My dear Henslow.

I am going to London for a few days on Monday,1 & should so very much like to see you, were it only for five minutes, on Wednesday, when you pass through London, that I hope you will send me a line to my Brother’s “57 Queen Anne St Cavendish Sqre” to tell me whether you could arrange to meet me,—where & at what hour. Would it suit you to come to my Brothers to luncheon, at any hour you chose? it is a good central situation.

Most truly your’s | Charles Darwin
