Cambridge.

1909

Dear Mr Wallace

I am sending you a book containing my father's2 evolutionary maps of 1842 & 1844 which I hope will interest you.

There was a wonderful gathering of foreigners here, and [2] the whole affair was I think a brilliant success.

We all regretted your absence, but I think you were wise not to come; I think you would have been worn out by the crowd who would have wished to be [3] introduced to you[.]

Yours v[er]y truly | Francis Darwin3 [signature]
