Dear D^r. Norris

I think I can undertake what the Secretary proposes, but I should prefer it if he could arrange a somewhat earlier date.

I did not know that [one word illegible] or mesmerism had been discussed at Cambridge, but I have just read Romanes’¹ short article on the Nineteenth Cent[ury] [.] Romanes is also enquiring with Spiritualism [2] and declares he will make public whatever facts he arrives at. Have you seen [name illegible] book translated by Massy? Such a work ought to produce an effect.

Yours very faithfully | Alfred R. Wallace. [signature]
