Frith Hill Godalming. Dec.21st 1883.

Dear Mr. Myers¹, I have only just been reading your admirable articles in the "Fortnightly" & am glad ti[sic] find from them that you propose publishing a book giving the great mass of facts you have collected. I do not know if you have seen the pamphlet I send you by book post. If not read p.32 (The whole paper is well worth reading) Some years ago Mr Pengelly² told me that, as I had expected, Mr Hazlewood was himself³. I think therefore that he would probably give you permission to publish this remarkable case of "Spectres of the Living" with his name. It would be well too if it was written out in fuller detail which I dare say he would do. I shall be glad to have the pamphlet returned any time when done with. After reading your papers I am amazed at the inpudent[sic] missrepresentation[sic] of your position and arguments in Mr Donkin's paper "Miracles & Medium-craft"⁴. But he is committed to the "delusion & imposture" theory and cannot accept any evidence which upsets it.

Believe me | Yours very faithfully | Alfred R. Wallace.

F. W. Myers Esq.
