[23 October 1871]1

As you persist in retaining on your list of members a convicted thief and swindler, one A. R. Wallace, of Barking, I am obliged to infer that y[ou]r Society is chiefly made up of these unprincipled blackguards, who pay you a stipulated commission on their proceeds, & secure the confidence of their dupes by their connexion with professedly respectable associations.
