Letter (WCP1691.1572)

[1]

Parkstone, Dorset.

March 10th. 1900

Edwd Clodd1 Esq.

Dear Sir

Of course I have no objection to your printing the two letters2 if you think them worth it. I do not know if I have any letters of his, but perhaps he kept copies of his letters. If not I will look over my old letters (only kept as autographs) & let you see what you have.

I have been occupied the last year in preparing my miscellaneous review-articles [2] &c for separate publication. When they are out I hope to begin my early recollections &c.

yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
