My dear Wallace,

I am going to take advantage of my friend Steads'2 car to come over & shake hands with you to-morrow morning about 11 to 11.30. Do not put yourself to the least inconvenience but let us take our chance of being able to see you. We shall have with us a distinguished representative of the school of modern chemists — Prof. W. J. Pope3 who was [2] former pupil of mine & now Professor in the University of Cambridge. He is anxious to be introduced to you.

With kind regards too Mrs. Wallace4 from my wife5 who will report herself personally tomorrow.

I am, | Yours very sincerely, | R. Meldola6 [signature]
