From B. J. Sulivan 2 October [1862]1
Board of Trade. S.W.
Oct 2.
My dear Darwin
I am indeed sorry to hear such an account of Mrs. Darwin & your family.2 I can answer for myself and (I think for Wickham & Mellersh) that I should be very glad indeed to run down to you for a night, probably the week after next would suit Wickham best as he will then be in Lodgings in Town.3 I will ask them both and let you know—but it will be after Sixth of this month as Wickham does not come to us till that day and I do not know where a letter would catch him.
I had intended volunteering to run down to you this autumn for a day or two after the other people returned here to work, & I should be free for a day when I wished to take one. But when I knew Wickham was coming I thought it a nice chance for us to meet.
Believe me my dear Darwin | Yours very sincerely | B. J. Sulivan
