To H. A. Huxley [before 25 November 1866?]1
6 Queen Anne St | W.
My dear Mrs. Huxley
I want very much to see you & the children & to ask Huxley2 some non-scientific & some scientific questions. Might I call on Sunday & should you think me utterly unreasonable if I proposed to call about 10 oclock, for my strength always oozes away as the day advances.— I would not stay much more than half-an-hour.— If the hour for any cause proves inconvenient could I come between 1 & 2 oclock?
Will you have kindness to send me briefest answer to my request & believe me my dear Mrs. Huxley | Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
My movements on any day are not very certain & if I do not come at whatever hour you may fix, you will understand that I am not able from health.
