Dear Mr Wallace

We are going to have a paper about the Antarctic Continent read by Mr Forbes1 on the 13th. I wonder if there would [2] be any chance of your being able to attend the Meeting. If so I hope you will dine with me at the Geographi [3] cal Club — in Limmer’s Hotel Conduit St — that evening at ½ past 6[.]

Believe me | [illeg.] | M. E. Grant Duff2
