My dear Violet1

Will2 came home yesterday night & is going back on Easter Sunday, so we thought you might like to come here on the 2nd. & then go on to Norfolk. It will not make much difference & you may not have another chance of seeing him for another year or two. He was obliged to come now as there [2] is a little slack time.

Please send a P. card to say if you will come, & send me the address of the Bacon Man!!

Can you not send the two Jungle books for Will?

In haste | Your affectionate Pa | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
