To Roland Trimen 27 July 1871
Down | Beckenham
Thursd. July 27. 71
My dear Mr. Trimen,
I was much surprized to receive your letter & I am sorry to hear of the cause of your hurried return to England.—1 I have been a good deal out of health of late & we have taken Haredene for a month in order that I may get a little rest.2 We start tomorrow morning. I shall have very great pleasure in seeing you there after your return from Edinburgh. I am sorry to say that I cannot ask you to sleep with us as we shall have no beds to spare;—but I suppose from what you say that you will be staying in the neighbourhood.
Many thanks for the Review which I will read in the course of the day3
Believe me | Yours very sincerely | Charles Darwin
