To J. D. Hooker [23 June 1867]1
6 Queen Anne St
Sunday
My dear Hooker
We have been very much disappointed at not seeing you & Mrs Hooker here. I suppose you got Henrietta’s note saying that any day would have suited us.2
I have had so much to do that I have found it impossible to come to Kew.3 Remember you are doubly pledged to come to Down some time soon. We are off home tomorrow morning early & have much enjoyed our London week—
Yours affectately | Ch. Darwin
