To G. J. Romanes [7 December 1874]1
2 Bryanston St Portman St
Monday night
My dear Sir
It wd give me great pleasure to see you. Indeed I was thinking, if time & strength permitted, of coming down to the Brown Inn.—2 I am generally good for nothing in the afternoon, & therefore, if it would suit you, would you come to luncheon here on Wednesday at 1 o clock & afterwards we could go into a room by ourselves & have some talk. Or I could see you any morning before 1 oclock.3
In Haste | Yours very faithfully | Ch. Darwin
