Dear Sir,

I have sent your letter5 up to the printers, and hope presently to publish it, with the degree of prominence to which your name and reputation entitle it. But it may, through the pressure of more urgent though not more important matter, be delayed for a little time.

Faithfully yours | Frank H Hill [signature]

Alfred R Wallace Esq[uire].
