My dear Will

I think you will probably like to go to the Essex Club Meeting at Grays next Saturday, so I send you the particulars. No doubt Meldola & other of your old friends will be there. If you write to Mr. Cole saying I sent you the Circular it will be all right. "The Elius[?]" is the house adjoining "The Dell" — & the present owner has, I suppose, got all the other old chalk pits further on to [2] make his "Wild Garden", you can perhaps get some wrinkles.

I have got & paid the lawyer bill which amounted to £34.2.8 £49.10.4 but out of this £34.2.8 is money paid for valuations stamps, Estate duty on Mosses, &c. their costs being £15.7.8 — which is reasonable.

I have now £83 in hand so with a few pounds more I could buy another £100 [3] Consols.

Ever since you left we had strong, dry, winds — To day it is damp — but still windy.

Your affect^te Pa | Alfred R. Wallace — [signature]
