Dear Dr. Wallace

I hope that you will allow me to congratulate you, and Natural Science of course, on the award of the Copley Medal of the Royal Society and the Order of Merit from the King.

I am never likely to forget the glorious times of the early Darwin-Wallace period, and the enjoyment I had in the Malay Archepeligo & Island Life. The reading of the award in the newspapers is a happy & grateful reminder - how [2] honoured I had been the advance of Biological Science within the last 50 years; and of how largely its freedom, enthusiasm [?] representd during that time have been due to the work and the advance of yourself and your colleagues.

I am sincerely yours | Charles Lapworth [signature]
