My dear Haeckel

The printing A/C can not be paid till the plates are received here.

I hope you will be able to come here in April. We will take care of you and it will do || you good. I will keep you away from all big-dinners. I don’t intend to go to them myself, so we can spend some days in the country if you like.

I will expect you to perform the ceremony of opening || the Marine Station for Research, when you are here. I’ll send you some notes about it before you come.

Will the enclosed notes suit you?

Best remembrances to M^rs Haeckel and family.

You will be paid £ 155 this month.

Yours

John Murray
