From John Lubbock   4 August 1866

4 Aug/66

Dear Mr. Darwin

I am delighted at the prospect of your coming to lunch & fully expect to see you out with our beagles before the season is over.1

We will let you know next time I have a holiday.

I am very glad you liked my address.2

I send you back your Primula paper, & would have done so before, but I thought you said I might keep it.3

Believe me always | Yours most sincerely | John Lubbock
