From John Lubbock   4 August 1866

Dear M^r. Darwin

I am delighted at the prospect of your coming to lunch & fully expect to see you out with our beagles before the season is over.¹

We will let you know next time I have a holiday.

I am very glad you liked my address.²

I send you back your Primula paper, & would have done so before, but I thought you said I might keep it.³

Believe me always | Yours most sincerely | John Lubbock
