Dear Mr. Wallace,

In enclosing a check, I beg leave to add our thanks for your kindness in addressing us on Tuesday last.¹ The Treasurer, for his vouchers, will be glad to have your receipt.

I was very much impressed by the closing sentences of your first Peabody lecture. I would not like to ask what you might hesitate [2] to grant — but should esteem it a great favor if I might have a transcript of that passage or be referred to any of your writings where perhaps the same idea is expressed[.]

Yours very respectfully | D. C. Gilman² [signature]

A. R. Wallace Esq
