Dear Mr. Meldola2

I will be with you on Friday afternoon. I see Sir Wilfrid Lawson3 is to move a resolution as Local Option "on going into" Committee of Supply"— As his speeches are always good try and ascertain from Sir John4 at what hour going into Committee of Supply" — is expected.

Thanks for your Address on Darwin5 & Evolution which is excellent.

Yours truly| Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
