My dear Sir Joseph

Thank you for your letter.2 Of course it will be better to wait for Sir C. Markham’s3 return, though, as I must have the letters, I am arranging to have them copied and also the "Journals" at once. Perhaps when Sir. C. M. returns you will kindly send me your & his support to my application, to accompany mine to the secretaries.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
