Rosehill, Dorking.

August 12th. 1876

Dear Sir

I regret that I am quite unable to undertake one of the Evening Addresses at the Brit. Assn., —, as I am behindhand with the Address I have to preface as President of Sect. D.

Having had very little experience in lecturing, it is quite impossible for me to extemporise an Address, and I have nothing suitable in preparation.

Yours very faithfully | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

Captn. Douglas Galton1

Galton, Douglas Strutt (1822-1899). British engineer.
