Rosehill, Dorking

August 24th. 1876

Dear Newton

Having just sent my "Address" to be printed I may as well let you know that I have modified it somewhat from what I at first intended — making the first half specially biological the second half being devoted to the "Antiquity & Origin of Man" question

In the first part I confine myself almost wholly to questions of colour as influenced by locality [2] and the relations of plants & insects.

The ground will therefore be quite free for you to go into as much or as little of special zoological questions as you like.

Yours very faithfully | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
