Professor Wallace

Your package with pictures and paper for self and friends were duly received for which please receive my thanks I delivered to Mr Smart those pertaining to him for which he expressed much gratification[.]

I note your remark as to your sons experiments and pray but I hope you will allow me to say that the experience, I think, will be worth more to him than almost any pay that he could receive. He is still young, and the knowledge he is now acquiring may enable him to avoid many serious mistakes in future.

I admire very much [2] the admirable way in which he and his partner, Mr. Mcalpine, join their interests from mutual help and enjoyment[.]

Yes, my daughter is still in Cal[iforni]^a and as devoted as ever to her profession. I often tell her how happy she should be, that her work, is to her, a pleasure; — to so many it is a slavish drudgery[.]

With best wishes | Yours sincerely | Colin S. Eastwood [signature]¹
