Dr. Alfred R. Wallace
My dear Sir
I cannot sufficiently thank you for your kind gift — it is indeed a deep pleasure to me to receive it – a pleasure that will last, truly, for ever!
Yes! dear sir, I will ask [2] several friends to look at yr kind gift, for there is a true note of thanksgiving on the part of many for your "God-given utterance"in Daily News.2
A note of triumph went through one of the sermons at Church on Sunday, when preaching from the text "He sitteth between two cherubim" your [3] D. N. interview was mentioned. A leading medical man yesterday spoke most gratefully of "Dr. Alfred R Wallace's so re-assuring testimony &c".
Thank you dear sir I should indeed like to call upon you! We had hoped for New Forest this summer but the continued rain has [4] kept us at home, as my sister who lives with me suffers from rheumatism.
I hope, dear sir, you may hear from some who are grateful to you.
Believe me | yrs. ever gratefully and respectfully | Sarah A Bennett3 [signature]
