To J. D. Hooker   [23 November 1866]

My dear Hooker

I will start, weather & stomach permitting, on Tuesday morning at 9^o so shall be at Kew about 10^o: Emma thinks she will not be able to come, perhaps Henrietta will.—¹ We will go to M^rs Hooker’s house, & if you are not there will go on to Herbarium, after staying a few minutes with M^rs Hooker,² then a walk in the garden & home again

Ever yours | C. Darwin

If I fail on Tuesday, I will try on Wednesday.
