Dear Sir

I was exceedingly pleased to receive the tract on the Game Laws by Mr Connell.¹ It is excellently done and the preface by R. Buchanan² is splendid. I hope now that you will be able to find some M.P. who will move an annual resolution for the Abolition of the Game Laws, as this tract will furnish all the necessary material for speeches for a good many years. Of course it will at first be a forlorn hope [2] but it will keep the subject before the public, which is much needed, and few people seem to be aware of the wide spread evils of these abominable anachronisms.

Such a motion would serve as a very good test of true liberalism or radicalism, and no candidate for parliament should be voted for who will not promise to support total repeal.

Believe me | Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace. [signature]
