Hochverehrter Herr Professor

I have, for some time past, felt a strong wish that you Sir, as an old and respected friend of my father and a most distinguished Evolutionist, might be not bea unwilling to meet me on friendly terms at the Centenary gathering in June. But I was in doubt as to whether you would || permit me to address you in this sense.

I now learn, with great regret, that you hesitate about coming to Cambridge. I therefore venture to assure you that your absence would be universally deplored, and that I sincerely hope you will honour us with your presence.

I am, Sir, with great respect.

Yours faithfully

Francis Darwin

Professor Haeckel
