Broadstone, Wimborne.

Octr 2nd. 1906

Wilfred Scawen Blunt1 Esq.

Dear Mr Blunt

Many thanks for sending me your very powerful, clear & convincing pamphlet "Atrocities of Justice."2 Those kind of things are the inevitable result of semi-despotic rule and militarism. Will not Lord Cromer3 be obliged to indict you for libel? I hope he may & wish you success.

yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
