Dear Sir

It will give me much pleasure to arrange that typed copies of Dr Spencer's2 letters be put at your disposal.

I have requested Mr Hemsley3 to make arrangements for the engagement of a typist — who will be put to the task in the first instance of copying the letters to Mr Bentham4 beginning with one dated May 1855 and ending with one dated April 1864.

Believe me to be | Yours very truly | D. Prain [signature]

Dr A. R. Wallace F.R.S.
