To Roland Trimen   27 July 1871

My dear M^r. Trimen,

I was much surprized to receive your letter & I am sorry to hear of the cause of your hurried return to England.—¹ I have been a good deal out of health of late & we have taken Haredene for a month in order that I may get a little rest.² We start tomorrow morning. I shall have very great pleasure in seeing you there after your return from Edinburgh. I am sorry to say that I cannot ask you to sleep with us as we shall have no beds to spare;—but I suppose from what you say that you will be staying in the neighbourhood.

Many thanks for the Review which I will read in the course of the day³

Believe me | Yours very sincerely | Charles Darwin
