To J. D. Hooker   [4 December 1844]

My dear Hooker

If I do not hear to the contrary my phaeton shall be at Sydenham, ready to return by the Train, which leaves both the Bricklayers Arms & London Bridge at 2^o ’ 20’. Since I wrote there has been a change in the trains, & no train leaves the Bricklayers Arms at 3^o ’ 20’.; so that if you chance to be too late for the 2^o . 20’ at the B. Arms you must go to London Bridge for the 3^o ’ 20’.

Ever yours | C. Darwin
