Dear Mr.Myers,

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’d3 of course be also very pleased to see you if you would like to come so far as Croydon.

Do you kniw4 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 any good un-deniable tests he says he will lecture on them at the R.[oyal] Inst’[itutio]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 article in5 the "Contemporary" of Vov.6 Last7?

Yours very truly, | Alfred R.Wallace.8
