Parkstone, Dorset.

June 8th. 1898

My dear Violet

I enclose you £.5 note for your next quarter. Also a letter which came with the enclosed photo, & which thinking it was a photo only I opened.

Ma has not found the key yet. If she does she will send the box &c

To day my book is published but not one sent me yet

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

Please acknowledge receipt. A.R.W.¹
