Dec 2d
My dear Hooker
You will see by the enclosed very nice note from Farrer what he has done; & I shd. think nothing could be better, as Sir S. N. will see by my note to Farrer that it was my thought to write to him; & your own letter shows admirably how you are overworked.1 I hope to God it will be all successful.
Ever Yours | Ch. Darwin
We go to 2 Bryanston St to Henrietta’s tomorrow for a week.—2
