To W. M. Hacon?1 29 August 1871
Down, Beckenham, Kent
Aug. 29, 1871
My dear Sir
The most convenient time for your clerk2 to come here tomorrow (Wednesday) will be by the train which leaves Charing Cross at 5.5 or Cannon St 5.15 arriving at Orpington at 5.47, where I hope he will take a fly for the four mile drive. A suitable train to return will be the 8.20 from Orpington. I hope these hours will not be inconvenient.
I beg leave to repeat my thanks for all your kind assistance in this affair, | and remain, my dear Sir, | Yours sincerely, | Charles Darwin
