Wilfrid Scawen Blunt1 Esq.

My dear Mr. W. S. Blunt

Many thanks for your very handsome present of Pheasants, which are a very acceptable addition to our somewhat monostonus fare here, as I eat only beef, and game, "for my stomachs sake" — as St. Paul said of wine.

I hope whenever you happen to be in this neighborhood you will give us a call, as [2] I should be much pleased to have a little more talk with you, on matters scientific & Revolutionary!

Believe me | yours very sincerely | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
