To T. H. Huxley [17] December [1872]1
Down, | Beckenham, Kent.
Dec. 16
My dear Huxley
We have both been bad & trying for a week to come to London, & start today.2 I had intended being in London on a Sunday so as to pay you my morning visit, but this is now doubtful.—3 I have nothing particular to say, but shd. very much like to see you for of hour.— Will you therefore let me have a Post card, soon telling me at what hour you generally reach Jermyn St,4 & let me call there some early day at an early hour.
Ever yours | Very misanthropically | Ch. Darwin
If tomorrow would suit you, I wd try & call.— But if tomorrow inconvenient I wd call another early day.
