Dear D^r. Norris¹

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 Hynotism or mesmerism had been discussed at Cambridge, but I have just read Romanes’² short article on the Nineteenth Cent. Romanes is also enquiring into Spiritualism [2] and declares he will make public whatever facts he arrives at. Have you seen Zollner’s³ book⁴ translated by Massey? Such a work ought to produce an effect.

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