From J. D. Hooker 24 September 1880
Royal Gardens Kew
Sept. 24/80.
Dear Darwin
The De Candolles ♂ & ♀ are here & the ♂ wants very much to visit you & see your Laboratory!— What am I to say to him?.— They came here today & we have arranged dinner parties for them on Saturday & Tuesday—so I suppose Monday would be a possible day for him, or Wednesday.1 I know he goes back next week.
The Grays stay into next week then go to Spain, then to Paris for A. G. to work for a fortnight— we shall join them late in December for a trip to Rome & Naples.2
Ever aff Yrs | J D Hooker
