Dear Darwin
It will give me great pleasure to accept your kind invitation for next Saturday & Sunday, and my wife would very much like to come too, & will if possible. Unfortunately there is a new servant coming that very day, & there is a baby2 at the mischievous age of a year and a quarter to be left in somebody's care; — but I dare say it will be managed somehow.
I will drop a line on Friday to say if we are coming the time [2] you mention.
Believe me | Yours very faithfully | Alfred R. Wallace — [signature]
