No summary available.
About Miss Buckley's concerns for ARW's ill-health and his desire to obtain regular partially outdoor work, or indoor work that can be partially done from home. Darwin suggests to Hooker that they might advocate for ARW to receive a government pension given ARW's scientific achievements.
Miss Arabella Buckley’s letter on Wallace’s poor health and finances leads CD to seek JDH’s aid in getting a Government pension.
