Nov 26/68

Dear Darwin

We are most anxious to hear how the Lubbocks take this disastrous termination to their hopes.1 I am very very sorry for them, but do not like to write, as they may not choose to be condoled with.

Ever yrs aff | J D Hooker

Hooker refers to John Lubbock’s recent defeat in the general election (see letter to J. D. Hooker, 26 November [1868] and n. 9).
