My dear Meldola1

Since I wrote yesterday I have had a second notice signed by A R. Wallace, Dr. Dixey,2 A Sidgwick3 & J Jenner Weir4& other good men.

"Monkeys of the first "water" as I used to be told when an infant.

Your case now has a very different aspect.

Yours sincerely | H. Goss [signature]
