Dear D^r Russel Wallace

Yesterday I read through at a sitting your new vaccination essay,¹ finding the interest well sustained by the vigorous and clear style. I laid it down with the strong feeling that you had brought the day of our deliverance nearer. I fear the inertia of Parliament is still very great; but I am sure that your tone and line [2] of argument and of criticism of the Royal Commission Report, come well suited to fix the attention of Members of Parliament. The difficulties of tinkering the vaccn. Acts are so great that it is not unlikely the Government may fail wearing their Amendment Bill — which would practically mean a surrender of the whole case.

Yours faithfully | C. Creighton² [signature]
