To J. D. Hooker [16 June 1867]
Down
Sunday Evening
My dear Hooker
We go up tomorrow to 6 Q. Anne St for a week.— Send me a line to say whether you are, & will be, at Kew; & whether you are at all likely to be in London & to have an hour’s time to spare to see us..— Or if I shd be supernaturally strong, might I drive down for an hour or hour & half rather early some morning.— But I am not very strong & have a good deal to do, so I doubt whether I could give myself this treat, even if you are at Kew & not worked to death.—1
Ever yours Affectly | C. Darwin

Summary
Leaves for London tomorrow. Hopes to see JDH there or perhaps at Kew, but doubts the latter. He is not strong and has a good deal to do.
