Parkstone, Dorset.

July 5th. 1898.

[F.] James Esq.1

Dear Sir

I think it will be a disgrace to the wealthy County of Kent if the Sum named in your circular is not raised for the purchase of Mr. Harrison’s2 collection.

His labours have made the county classic ground for the geologist & Archaeologists, and although I have no connection [2] with I send a sentence merely to show my appreciation of Mr. Harrison’s discoveries.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
