May 2d. 1880
My dear Mr Moseley
If you are disengaged will you give us the pleasure of seeing you here on Sunday the 9th— The Galtons1 & Andrew Clark will be here.— Your best plan will be, if you can come, will be to start from Charing X by the 5°. 2′ Train on Saturday evening, which reaches Orpington a little before 6° & I will endeavour to send a carriage to meet you.
If you do not object to going on Box there will almost certainly be a place. Or you can take a fly.2
Believe me | Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
