My dear Olive & Bertie,

Many thanks for Grant Allen's Poems. I am delighted to have them. I hope you read "Sunday at Braemar"

It is almost the most exquisitely harmonious poem I know, and every line and word instinct with descriptive power or human emotion.

"In Magdalen Tower" is a complete essay on Philosophy vividly expounded in perfect rhyme & rhythm.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace.
