Dear Sir,
Your fellow passenger in an omnibus the other day to Charing X [Charing Cross] has now the pleasure of presenting you with a copy of the "Alpha",1 as promised—
You may remember that I informed you that I desired to get a very fine portrait of the author2 placed in the "National Portrait Gallery",3 but am unacquainted with either member of its committee—
My main & higher wish is to see established a system of life based on the Spiritualism for which the Alpha so eloquently pleads, & by God's Grace it will be achieved ere long—
Yours ever truly | A. C. Swinton [signature]
To A: R: Wallace Esq
