Old Orchard,

Feby. 3rd. 1913

F. M. Roberts1 Esq,

Dear Sir

I am so busy with books & correspondence that I cannot say anything about your Society, & I have quite forgotten that I was a member, but I have a recollection of attending the Annual Microscopical Meetings. It is certainly a new idea to have a "Sociological" Committee in a Local Nat. Hist. Society, and I hope it may do good.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

P.S. I left Croydon I think in 1880.

A.R.W.

Roberts, Frank Marshall (1880-1917). Honorary secretary (1910-1914) of the Croydon Natural History and Scientific Society. Killed in action, buried in Ypres.
