My dear Dr Lankester
If you happen to be disengaged will you give us the pleasure of seeing you here next Sunday.— It is a very short notice, but we thought until this morning that every bed wd be occupied.—
Dr. Andrew Clark, F. Galton & we hope Moseley2 will be here.— If you can come, your best plan will be to leave Charing Cross on Saturday by the 5o 2’ train, & we will have some vehicle at Orpington Station.—
Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
