October 4th 1876

My dear Wallace

I have just returned to London and send a line of thanks for your two grand volumes on Geographical Distribution —2

Nothing can be more opportune [2] than such a work as you have given us —

I was in Edinburgh all the summer and then went off to the United States whence I have just returned, after a very pleasant and instructive visit — [3]

Ever | Yours very faithfully | T. H. Huxley. [signature]

A R Wallace Esq.
