Letter (WCP2389.2279)

[1]

Feb. 18. 1879.

Dear Mr Wallace

On the other side you have a menu[?] from the Lord Mayor — as to the pamphlet I sent him — I hope it may do you some good at any rate I think the more your scheme is known the more it is likely to find supporters.

I am faithfully | C.F. Hayward [signature]

Perhaps one day we may have the pleasure of receiving you at Godahs[?] & showing you our trees.

1My Uncle would be very delighted to welcome you if I were not at home but let me know if you are likely to come.
