Dear Mr. Meldola2

I shall be glad to accept your kind invitation & will be with you at six. As however I dine in the middle of the day I shd. be greatly obliged if you would let me have some tea at the time you are having your dinner.

As Bedford3 is to be in the Chair I do not know that I shall say anything unless the reader of the paper refers to me.

Yours faithfully| Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
