Letter (WCP1757.1642)

[1]

Rosehill, Dorking.

August 24th. 1876

My dear Griffith1

After I wrote to you I had a note2 from Lockyer3 offering to set up my Address at once & make all necessary corrections &c., ready for publication in "Nature".

I therefore let him have it as this will save the Association "correction" expenses, — & his column of type is rather easier to read than yours.

I shall also have the [2] advantage of making any corrections that may occur to me, or be printed out, subqsequent to delivery.

Yours very faithfully | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

G. Griffith Esq.

P.S. I suppose you will not want a proof till after the meeting. ARW.
