To Charles Babbage   [1839 – August 1842]

12 Upper Gower Stt.

Saturday Evening

Dear Babbage

I am exceedingly sorry that I troubled you unnecessarily for an extension of your kind invitation, as I happen to be so unwell to day, that I am quite unable to come.—

Pray excuse me having troubled you & believe me Yours very truly | Chas. Darwin
