 MY DEAR MR TRIMEN 



Would it suit you to corne and lunch here at 

 1. oclock on Friday or Saturday, or indeed almost any 

 day ; or if luncheon-time does not suit you, if you will 

 you will [sic] tell me at what hour you will call I will be 

 at home. I hear that you had a brilliant night at Linn. 

 Soc. and I regretted so much that I could not come. 



Yours very sincerely 



CH. DARWIN
