To Charles Lyell [9 November 1873 or 26 April or 6 December 1874]1
2. Bryanston St | Portman Sqre
Sunday Evening
My dear Lyell
Would it suit you for me to call on you on Wednesday morning about 9 to 10 oclock.— But if any other hour would be more convenient, or any other day, please let me know. Perhaps it will save you trouble by my settling to come at the above time if I do not hear to the contrary2
My dear Lyell | Yours most truly | Ch. Darwin
P.S | I have just recollected that my Doctor3 calls here on Tuesday morning, so that I have altered the day to Wednesday
