My dear Meldola2

I do not think I have told you that we have found the desired haven, & move in next week. Our address will henceforth be — Corfe View, Parkstone, Dorset. Parkstone is between Bournemouth & Poole. Dr. Allman3 is a near neighbour — It is a very picturesque and interesting neighbourhood, and when you take your next walking excursion you must come and see us. Our house is not 100 yds. from Parkstone Station.

Truly yours| Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
