Dear Darwin
I am very sorry I was out when you called yesterday. Had just gone to the Zool[ogical]. Gardens, and I met Sir. C. Lyell3 who told me you were in Town.
If you should have time to go to Bayswater I think you would be pleased to see the Collections which I have displayed there in the form of an Exhibition (though the public will not go to see it.)4 If you can [2] go with any friends I should like to meet you there, if you can appoint a time.
I am glad to find you continue in tolerable health.
Believe me | Yours very faithfully | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
Charles Darwin Esq.
[3] What do you think of the Duke of Argyll's5 Criticisms,6 and the more pretentious one in the last number of the N[orth]. British Rev[iew].?7
Have written a little article answering them both, but I do not yet know where to get it published.8
