From John Lubbock   29 January 1862

My dear Mr. Darwin

The Carpenters1 are not coming this Saturday, so if still quite convenient to you I should be very glad to spend the evening with you.2

I shall come down by the 3.30 train & drive straight over to down.

If however you do not feel so well, or for any reason would rather I came some other day you will I am sure not hesitate to say so.

Believe me | Yours affec | John Lubbock
