My dear Darwin
May I lunch with you on Thursday and arrange about rabbits?1
We shall then be staying for 2 days in your neighbourhood, at
Mrs. Brandram
Hayes Common2
Your letter reached me just before we were leaving town for a Saturday & Sunday visit & I did not reply at once, waiting to be sure about our engagements.3
If I don’t receive a post card at above address to say ‘no’ I will come4
Ever sincerely yrs. | Francis Galton
The spiritualists have given up; I fear I can’t get another invite to a scéance.5
