From George Bentham   4 October [1866]1

25, Wilton Place, | S.W.

Oct 4

My dear Darwin

Thanks for your kind note but as at Holwood2 we depend on the arrangements of others I fear we cannot fix a day for coming over to your luncheon till we are there— I shall at any rate in walking over avoid the time of your riding out3

Yours very truly | George Bentham
