To Hugh Falconer 15 October [1858]1
Down,
Oct. 15th.
My dear Falconer
I mistook your former note2 and thought you intended to let me know when you returned to London. Unfortunately I cannot come up till Tuesday.3 Will this be too late? If it be, will you kindly send me one line by return of post, that I may not have my journey for nothing. If I do not hear, you may expect to see me on Tuesday morning, about 11.15 to .30 A.M. As my health is so indifferent I am never certain of my movements;4 but if I do not appear by 11.45 you will understand the cause; for certainly I will come if I possibly can. Shall you be in London on Wednesday if I should fail on Tuesday?
With hearty thanks | Yours most truly | C. Darwin
