Dear Sclater

Many thanks for sending me Hampden's2 letter, & for the excellent reply you have written, which I think you had better send.3

I had not heard of him for some months & thought he was tired of abusing me. Perhaps your letter will show him the uselessness of continuing it.

I remain │Yours much obliged │ Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

Dr. Sclater. F.R.S.
