To J. D. Hooker 28 [July 1855]1
Down
28th.
My dear Hooker
Henslow dines with me at 57 Queen Anne St. on Tuesday Aug 7th at 7 oclock. Could you not, with this notice, contrive a day’s work in London, & so dine with us? It would be very pleasant.—
I have just received your most magnificent illustrated work,2 & most splendid it is. I am very full of you at present for I am in the middle of the Indian Flora & of course greatly interested with it. I had a letter the other day from Bunbury full of praise of the same.—3 Adios.
Do come on 7th if you can find anything else to do in London.—
I hope Mrs. Hooker is going on well: pray give her our very sincere congratulations & very kind remembrances
once again adios | C. D.
