To Francis Galton 9 August [1872]1
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
Aug. 9th | Friday.
My dear Galton
I telegraphed to you this morning about the Rabbit. Our confounded carrier suddenly changed his day & goes up to night, perhaps he will bring the rabbit tomorrow evening2 If it does not then come I do not know how it had better be sent; if by Railway, I may not perhaps hear when it arrives at Orpington. Next week Snow will go up to the Nags Head on Wednesday night.—3
Ever yours | C. Darwin
