Saturday

Dear Haeckel,

I will come to see you tomorrow (Sonntag) morning at eleven o’clock at 40 Woburn a Place. We will lunch at my club & go to the Zoological Gardens in the afternoon, if you are not otherwise engaged.

I wrote to you to Sir Wyville Thomson’s || at Edinburgh. I wish I could have been with you in Edinburgh.

I should much have liked to shew you Oxford & to have entertained you there – but the semester does not begin till Oct.14th and there is no person there worth seeing except Max Mueller (& he is not there now). The place is curious –- but there are no collections worth your looking at & no work going on.

I shall like to shew you University College, || you see I am most ridiculously situated. I keep my books &c &c at Oxford – yet I live a good deal here in London with my mother & sisters. I go as little as possible to University College since they do not pay me – and the place is very dirty.

I am afraid you will b find Darwin very unwell. His son’s wife is just dead (!) of convulsions after child-birth and he is quite broken-hearted.

Yours sincerely

E. Ray Lankester
