The Dell, Grays, Essex

March 30th. 1876

Dear Mr. Macmillan

Thanks for your kind acquiescence. If you can manage it without inconvenience I sh[oul]d like £250 at once, as I may be called on to pay that amount any day. The rest can remain a month or perhaps more.

I suppose a receipt acknowledging it as an advance or account bearing interest, will be sufficient. If so please [2] send a form with the checque[sic].

Believe me | Yours very faithfully | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

P.S. you will be pleased to hear that I am to be President of Sect[ion] D.1 at Glasgow this year.

A.R.W. [signature]

1
Section D of the British Association, which covers Zoology and Botany, to which Wallace was elected president in 1876.
