Dear AW. Wallace,

In consideration of my previous note, & with reference to your kind reply of 1st[?] May, I enclose the report of Meeting at which an Indian Famine Union was constructed[?] in accordance with [2] the 4th resolution the enclosed memorial was preferred by the Committee, & we hope to have it [illeg.] signed. I quite understand your reasons for not joining our Union, but we are obtaining the signatures [3] of others besides members of our Union. Perhaps therefore you will kindly allow me to add your name as a signatory? We attach great importance to this detailed enquiry into local conditions.

Yours V. truly | W. Wedderburn1 [signature] [4] [illeg.]

Wedderburn, William (1838-1918). British civil servant in India and politician.
