My dear Henslow

It has just occurred to me that possibly you might be able to dine with me at my Brothers “57 Queen Anne St. Cavendish Sq^e” on either 7^th or 8^th of August, at 7 oclock or any other hour.— You can answer me whenever you like, & can see your way. I will try & get Hooker to come & dine there also. I sh^d. like to know a few days before to let my Brothers Cook know.— If you can, do say yes.— It is a capital central situation.—

Ever your’s | C. Darwin
