Pen-y-bryn, St. Peter’s Rd., Croydon.

Jan. 30th. 1881

Dear Mr. Myers,1

Many thanks for your kind congratulations. What you tell me about Mrs Kingsford is very interesting. I sincerely h hope she will publish some of the results of her self-observations. Nothing would be more important. Though I should be very glad to meet her, I so seldom come to town & find the fatigue and loss of time of London visits so great that I do not care for an introduction, unless she would like to call upon me, in which case I should be much pleased to see her. I am always at home on Sundays, I sh’d of course be also very pleased to see you if you would like to come so far as Croydon.

Do you kniw [typographical error] Mr. Romanes? He is an investigator, & I think would be glad of any advice or assistance from one so experienced as yourself.

His sister he tells me has great medium power, & if he get [typographical error] any good undeniable tests he says he will lecture on them at the R. Inst’n!

I am now devoting my attention more especially to politics — the Land Question especially. If you have paid attention to this subject I should be glad of some discussion of it with you. Did I see my article2 in the "Contemporary" of Vol. [typographical error] last?

Yours very truly, | Alfred R. Wallace.
