Broadstone, Wimbourne

Nov[embe]r 20th 1906

Sir Joseph Hooker F.R.S &c.

My dear Sir Joseph,

Many thanks for your letter. The "Publication" Grant is referred to at p.90 of the Year Book.— It is administered by the Pres[iden]t & Council, not by a special "Gov[ernmen]t Grant Board." It seems more suitable, as this can hardly be called a "scientific investigation"— However, that, I presume is for the secretaries to decide.

I enclose herewith a letter1 [2] of application for a Grant. If you think it sufficient perhaps you will kindly add your endorsement of the application, and then send it on to Sir C Markham who I am sure will do the same.

If you think any alteration in the "application" is necessary please advise and I will write another.

Believe me | Yours Very Truly | Alfred R Wallace [signature]

BROADSTONE, WIMBORNE

Nov. 20th, 1905.

Sir Joseph Hooker, F.R.S. &c.

My dear Sir Joseph

Many thanks for your letter. The "Publication" Grant is referred to at p.90 of the Year Book.— It is administered by the Prest & Council, not by a special "Govt Grant Board". It seems more suitable, as this can hardly be called a "Scientific Investigation".— However, that, I presume, is for the Secretaries to decide.

I enclose herewith a letter of application for a Grant. If you think it sufficient, perhaps you will kindly add your endorsement of the application, and then send it on to Sir C. Markham, who I am sure will do the same.

If you think any alteration to the "Application" is necessary please advise, and I will write another.

Believe me, Yours very truly, | ALFRED R. WALLACE.
