To J. D. Hooker [20 October 1871]
My dear Hooker
I most earnestly hope that you may be successful.
I have written in the strongest terms which I could use to Sir H H.1 & I shall be surprized & much disappointed if he does not accede to your request—
I will despatch your servant at once & so will write no more—.
yours Ever | Ch. Darwin
