Dear Dr Wallace

So many thanks for your kind note. I am very glad you liked my papers, and I cannot say how generous I think it of you to write and [2] say so. I have only just returned from a visit to Belgium, where I have been duly writing one of my historical guides: so I have only just unpacked the book & ex-[3]amined my letters. Therefore I have not had time yet to look at your paper which heads the volume but I should hope to do so the moment the press of arrears do such. Kindly excuse [4] dictation, due to writer's cramps, and believe me ever'

Yours very gratefully | Grant Allen [signature]
