My dear Mr. Darwin
Thanks for your information.1
It is an age since we have met. I should be delighted to see you any Sunday, or will come up next time I am at home.2
Would you like to have a look at McLennan’s book?3
Believe me | Yours very sincerely | John Lubbock

Footnotes
CD had suggested that he and Lubbock meet on a Sunday; Lubbock spent much of the week at his house in London. The Lubbock family estate, High Elms, bordered the grounds of Down.
No answer to Lubbock’s letter has been found, but see the letter to John Lubbock, 26 March [1867] and n. 1.
