Edinburgh

June 25. 1891.

Dear Mr. Wallace,

Before I leave this country I beg to say your good bye. I had wished to pay you a call, but being very busy during the last week in London, I could [2] find no convenient day. My book1 will be out to-morrow, and I myself am going to take a trip through Scotland and up to Shetland. If you would care some day to make a journey to Scandinavia and Finland I scarcely need say how welcome you would be. Thanking you once more for all the kindness you have shown me.

I remain, dear Mr Wallace, | yours very faithfully | Edvard Westermarck2 [signature]
