To G. J. Romanes 17 [December 1881]1
4 Bryanston St.
Saturday 17th
My dear Romanes
I shd. be very sorry to leave London without seeing you, so I will tell you my movements.2 If able to do anything I am going to call on Huxley tomorrow, (Sunday) morning immediately after breakfast.3. This evening at 6 o clock Dr Clark is coming to see me.4 If you could call in midday or in afternoon of Sunday I shd. almost certainly be at home. Also on Monday morning early, though if I happened to be feeling well I shd have liked much to have seen Burdon Sanderson.5 My visit to London has been rather a failure, for I have been able to do hardly anything.—
Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
