My dear D^r. Wallace,

I saw Lord Ebrington¹ a few days ago at his place on Exmoor & talked to him ab^t. the Crancher case. He quite understands its scientific importance & has promised not to forget, & to make the inquiries necessary as soon as he goes to Castle hill & let you have the result. I gave him your address & asked him to write direct to you about it –

[2] I am glad you sympathise with me in my fox-hunting case — I consider that I have even a considerable victory in getting the sentences reduced as they have been by two thirds, though in justice there sh^d. have been no penalty. But you know enough of the condition of things as between Englishmen & native all the world over to understand that true justice was not possible in the [illeg.] case — I find however that opinion in England supports me for once, and I have succeeded in making the 11^th. Human ridiculous, in stopping their fox-hunting, & as I hope in compelling our people to make proper regulations for the protection of the Egyptian fellahin from European trespass —

Y^rs. very truly | Wilfrid Scawen Blunt² [signature]
