To J. D. Hooker [23 February 1860]1
[Down]
Thursday
My dear Hooker
As usual when I set my heart on anything I cannot do it—a bad cold has made my stomach intolerably bad.— It is the more provoking as I must, if I can, be in London tomorrow to see my Doctor— I am so very sorry that you will have gone early to club. for my sake.—2
I enclose A. Gray’s letter as it is partly Botanical; please return it in empty cover.—3 I send, also, the remainder of Gray’s Review.— Please forward it to Dr Boott4 as requested & ask him to send it to Lyell.—
Yours ever | C. D.
