My dear Sclater,1

Many thanks for your kind congratulations. I have been unwell and overdone with work, & so misplaced Mr. Evan’s2 letter which I have now replied to, with the sources of information required.

I have accepted a pressing invitation from the Roy. Institution to give a Darwinian lecture at their opening evening meeting in January; and am going [2] to make a last effort to popularize and illustrate the fundamentals of Darwinism.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
