June 1. 1881.
My dear Darwin
I want you to grant me an unusual favour.— We are making arrangements for pleasure as well as for work at the International Medical Congress in August, and among my plans is one in which the Prince of Wales may meet quietly some of the chief scientific visitors—1 For this purpose he is so good as to have promised that he will lunch with me on Wednesday August 3rd. at 1.30, after the first general meeting—
I hope you will consent to be one of my guests— It will give the Prince great pleasure if you will be, and you may, I hope, enjoy yourself.
Always sincerely your’s | James Paget.
