To J. D. Hooker [26 May 1859]
Moor Park
Thursday
My dear Hooker
I write one word to say that I shall return on Saturday,1 & if you have any proof-sheets to send I shall be glad to do my best in any criticisms.—2 I had bad vomiting before starting & great prostration of mind & body; but entire rest & the douche & Adam Bede have together done me a world of good—3
Have you seen the last Vol. of Cybele:4 I have read a portion with great interest.—5
Ever yours | C. Darwin
