5, Westbourne Grove Terrace, W.

Monday morning [Sept. 1866]1

My dear Mr. Huxley2

You are quite at liberty to quote what I say in my letter,3 — but I think Lubbock4 is quite aware of the incongruity, & if I do not mistake, thinks the two Societies should be and sooner or later will be amalgamated.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

T. H. Huxley Esq.
