Dear Wallace

I must apologize for leaving your letter¹ so long unanswered but the truth is it was put aside and forgotten. I find that part 50 of 13 of Europe was sent by rail & signed for, and has never been returned, but parts 61/62 of your set are here put aside. You will I hope find 50 somewhere and I will send 61/62 [2] whenever you wish.

I am now settled down here altogether, having taken altered & furnished this house, and have a portion of my collections down here, for I work only two evenings per week at Lancaster Street.

Will you come over & see me here — say some Saturday afternoon & my wife² & myself will be very glad to see you. We generally have some bird-men down the first Saturday in the month, & have meat tea at 6. Can you come then?

Yours truly | H. E. Dresser³ [signature]
