My dear Darwin
I was much pleased to hear that you had prepared a paper for us which Mr Kippist will have announced for reading—on the 5th Feby which I trust may suit you—1 Should anything occur to prevent it would you kindly let him know. I am going with Jos. Hooker over to Paris for a few days but I shall be sure to be at my post on the 5th 2
Yours very sincerely | George Bentham
