To Charles Wilkes1 [7 November 1836]
43. Grt. Marlborough St
Dear Sir
I am going into the country for a few weeks on Thursday.— As I am anxious to have the pleasure of conversing a short time with you, concerning your long & most interesting voyage, I have thought the best plan of meeting would be to fix some hour.— Shall you be disengaged on Wednesday between 12 and 1 o’clock? If this hour is inconvenient, will you send me one line, & fixing some other.— In case I do not hear, I will call at Long’s2 on Wednesday.
Yours very faithfully | Charles Darwin
