To T. L. Brunton [4 August 1881]1
6. Queen Anne St.
My dear Sir
I want very much to see you for 10 minutes, & I leave London early tomorrow morning.2 Will you kindly send me a verbal message at what hour I might call, after 4 oclock, for I am engaged till then. If not at home when this note arrives would you be so good as to take the trouble to send me word here, when I may call.
I am greatly obliged to you for your aid.—
Yours sincerely | Ch. Darwin
