Dear M^r. Wallace,

Do you remember being my guest some 30 years ago, when the British Association³ met in Dundee? Since then I have met you only once, I think, at the Macmillan's⁴ in London.

I am leaving S^t Andrews after a professorship of 27 years, and go to Malvern for the rest of our life. My object in writing to you today is to tell you that I am working at a subject of special ^scientific interest to you, & [2] of engrossing philosophical importance to me, viz. the future life, its evidences, & the literature of the subject[,] which I am trying to trace through the writings of all nations so far as I can[,] giving brief summaries of the most notable discussions. You have written a good deal on the subject, I know: but will you kindly tell me what you consider most central in your writing in the way of evidence.[?]

Believe me | Sincerely Yours, | William Knight⁵ [signature]
