Letter (WCP1310.1089)

[1]

Parkstone, Dorset.

July 11th 1893

My dear Fanny1

As we are going off tomorrow morning I send you £2, & beg you to lay in a stock of soups so that you may always have some when you can eat nothing else, so as to keep up your strength. We shall send our address here, as we move, so that all letters can be forwarded to us.

I forget whether I sent you [2] Will’s address. It is, now,

212 Portland Road

Newcastle-on-Tyne.

He has found some friends among the young men there and I expect will soon be quite comfortable.

With best love & wishes for your good health.

Believe me | Your affectionate Brother | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

I enclose one more zoo ticket.

Sims (née Wallace) Frances ("Fanny") (1812-1893). Sister of ARW; teacher. Married Thomas Sims (1826-1910) in 1849.
