Dear Mr Wallace

I enclose the letter of my fathers to you of which I spoke. I have just had to quote, in a footnote to a letter, the last sentence in your article on [2] the Origin of Species & Genera in the XIXth Century Jan 1880.1 I wonder whether you abide by what you there say?

Yours vy truly | F Darwin2 [signature]
