Mr A.R.Wallace

Dear Mr. Wallace,

When I had my pleasant visit with you some weeks ago I felt sure I would get to visit you again before I sailed for home but the time has slipped by and I have been so rushed with my work that I have not been able to do so.

I am not able to tell you how much my visit [2] benefitted me back as regards my life-work subject, race mixture, and also spiritualism. On coming back to Oxford I immediately looked up Robert Dale Owen3two books and I purchased Desertis' "Psychic Philosophy"4, and I enjoyed them all very much especially the latter.

I am enclosing one of my cards, and it will give me exceedingly [3]5great pleasure if you will write your name and full address on the back of it, and then post it in the enclosed envelope.

I shall sail next Saturday for America, but I trust I may soon visit England again when I may have the grand pleasure of seeing you again.

Most sincerely yours | G.C. Huckaby [signature]
