W. Scawen Blunt1 Esq.

Dear Mr Blunt,

Many thanks for your kind present of Pheasants.

I am looking with great interest to see if the Egypt affair and Lord Cromer’s2 Action will be brought up in Parliament. I wish you were there to do it yourself! The execution seems to have been pure judicial murders.

yours Very Truly | Alfred R Wallace [signature]
