Dear Sir,

I venture to trouble you with these few lines, in order to introduce one of our Fellows, Mr. F. A. Gardiner1, who is Treasurer of the London Swedenborgian Society2, and as such, is desirous of calling the attention of the public to the philosophy of that extraordinary man3.

[2] He will acquaint you with his plans for this, in a way I cannot presume to do.

Yours faithfully | B. Daydon Jackson [signature] | Gen[eral]. Sec[retary].

Dr. Alfred R. Wallace, O.M, F.R.S.

Broadstone,

Wimborne.
