Plaistow, E.

7. VI. 94

My dear Sir,

I have some very uncertain recollection of a letter addressed to Mr. Burrows1 coming here, & of returning it to the postman, as it never occurred to me that it was for my friend Herbert Burrows. You see before we came to this house in the east-end, it was inhabited by a good many migratory people, & letters for strangers are not therefore frequently brought here.

Would it not be well to stop payment of the cheque at your Bank? I will inform Burrows of the Circumstance.

Permit me to express the great pleasure I feel in finding you are in direct sympathy with the definili Socialist movement.

Faithfully yours, | John Kenworthy2 [signature]

Alfred R. Wallace, Esq.

Burrows, Herbert (1845-1922). British socialist activist.
Kenworthy, John Coleman (1863-1948). British Tolstoyan author and pastor of the Brotherhood Church community in Croydon, Surrey.
