Parkstone, Dorset.
May 4th. 1900
My dear Mitten1
Mac is now staying with us and as Will2 is fully occupied with him & young Casey3 picking up, or rather digging up Roman & British coins, pottery, brooches, nails &c. &c. at Bradbury rings, I think it will be best & most economical of time & money if I look at a few promising places first, & then, if any seem to me suitable, he and Annie4 can visit them when they come to Hurst. I will therefore, if agreeable & the weather becomes settled, come to you for one [2] or two nights early next week, or the week after, & see three or four places within easy reach of you, & at the same time have the pleasure of seeing you & the new garden.
I have also two in Hampshire two in Berkshire & two in Bucks, to look at, — & out of the lot I hope one may please everybody sufficiently though of course we cannot expect to get all we should like.
In haste | Yours very sincerely | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
