April 20th. 1871

Dear Dr. Norris1

I do not expect I shall be at the Royal Socy2 but shall be most happy if you can come here to see me on Monday or Tuesday evening. We take tea at 6, and there are trains from Fenchurch St. at 4.37 and 5.20 — or from Chalk Farm at 4.10. If you let me know what train you will come by I would meet you at the station.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
