Dear Mr. Cockerell1

There is no hurry about the notes for "Island Life"2. I shall take the whole winter to make the corrections, as I shall hardly begin till after ‘Xmas having alterations in my house going on. I wish you success for the Plymouth post, & have good hopes if Ray Lankester3 advised you to apply.

Yours Faithfully | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

Shall be happy to see you any time. A.R.W.

There is no hurry about the Notes for "Island Life." I shall take the whole winter to make the corrections, as I shall hardly begin till after Christmas, having alterations in my house going on. I wish you success for the Plymouth post, and have good hopes if Ray Lankester2 advised you to apply.
