From Robert Caspary 25 May 1866
Kew gardens | House of Dr. J. D. Hooker
25th. of May | 1866
My dear Sir,
Having spoken to Dr. Hooker about my wish to visit you, he advises me to follow your kind invitation to go and see you.1 Consequently I shall leave London, Charing-Cross station, on Sunday 27th of May in the morning by an early train to get out to you2 I can not say exactly by what train, as no timetable is here. My time is so much taken up here by researches of several kinds, that I could no see Dr Hooker earlier for deciding upon my visiting you. Send me away from you, as soon as you feel in any degree tired.
In the hope of seeing you soon I remain, dear Sir, with the highest regards | your most sincerely | Rob. Caspary
