Parkstone, Dorset.

Novr. 13th. 1889

My dear Mr. Poulton1

If the ceremony must be gone through I think Novr. 26th. will suit me best. I suppose I must come to Oxford the day before — Monday. Romanes2 has been inflicting a host of long letters on me!

Believe me| yours very faithfully| Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

P.S. I have just returned from the North.
