Tuesday Morning

Dear Mr. Darwin

I have only a minute to spare after returning the memorial which I sign with the greatest pleasure.² Owen has not been seen or heard of for some days; & I do not know whether he is at home. Unfortunately, my relations to him are not of so intimate a nature, as to ^{allow me to} make enquiries as to [2] his present whereabouts; if he had been here, I should have done ^{asked him} without hesitation; but I do not care to intrude into his house.³ A letter would not do, as he may be from home.

In great haste | Yours very truly | A Günther
