Dear Dr. Norris

I have been asked to fill D^r. Romane's place to lecture for the Midland Institute on the 19^th Ins[tan]^t & have accepted. I therefore write to you with the freedom of a friend to ask you whether it will be quite convenient to Mrs. Norris & yourself to give me your kind hospitality for two or three days — or I want to lecture on my hobby — "Land Nationalisation" — as well. I have no doubt [2] I shall receive some other invitation, but I have so pleasant a recollection of my last visit to your house that I should prefer to have so good a reason for declining to go to a new place. Pray however do not scruple to say it will be inconvenient if it really is so.

Dr. Saundly[?] of the Birmingham Medical Review has been writing [3] to me about Land Nationalisation. I hope he is a friend of yours.

With kind remembrances to Mrs. Norris & your daughters

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