Broadstone, Dorset.
June 25th. 1903
My dear Will
I send you now 4 more chapters — there are 4 more to finish which I hope to send you next Tuesday. Your notes to the others were just such as I wanted. I adopted almost all of them. One was a "quotation" & could not be altered. I send you a letter from Hicks.
It is a great relief to have the book finished, and if I can judge, it will be one to sell well; as the argument [2] is much stronger than in the paper, and I have been surprised myself to find how much more good evidence than I thought there was.
I can write no more now. The wood & garden looks nice now.
I have to go to meet Mrs. Fisher1, & take this to the post.
Your affectionate Pa | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
