My dear Wallace

We go today to "6. Queen Anne St. W."2 for one week.

If you chance to be in London during this week, & have time to spare, will you come & lunch with us, at 1 oclock. — It wd. be a great pleasure to see you. —

Ever yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin [signature]

P.S. I have had a deal of ill-health of late & had to put off starting for London. –
