From Asa Gray   17 September 1868

Kew,

17th Sept. 1868

My dear Darwin

We reached Kew last evening, Mrs. Gray somewhat dazed by the voyage and fatigued by the travel. When she gets a little stronger I shall be delighted to come and see you.1

Dr. Hooker2 is in Scotland—to be back in 2 or 3 days.

Yours sincerely | A Gray
