My dear Wallace

The young men at the Univ[ersity]. here have a flourishing "science club," which has done good work.

They are going to have a sort of soirèe [sic] towards the end of March (day not yet fixed,) 16th or thereabouts probably.

They are anxious to have [2] two short addresses say 1/2 hour or so — one physical etc [?], one biological[.] They are most anxious that you should give the biological one. I promised to ask you, & in doing so let me urge to say yes if you possibly can

E[ve]r yours tru[ly][?]

M.. Foster [signature]2
