Frith Hill, Godalming.

Feby. 13th. 1888

My dear Meldola1

I have to go to Newcastle next Saturday & shall be very glad to come to you on Friday afternoon or evening if Mrs Meldola2 will kindly accommodate me. And I shall also trespass upon you on my way back as I want to see an oculist about my eyelid. I shall return on Wednesday I think, & I have to lecture at Sale near Manchester on Tuesday. There are some things I want to talk to you [2] about – Darwinism3 of course, as I have set straight at work at my "Popular Sketch".

With kind remembrances to your mother & wife[.]

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

P.S. Do you want any Zool Tickets —?
