William Strang Esq[uire].

Dear Sir

I have received a letter from the Librarian at Windsor Castle informing me that you are commissioned by the King to take a portrait drawing of myself as a member of the Order of Merit.

I presume you ^can come [2] here for a sitting as it will be impossible for me to come to you, unless it were delayed till summer, on account of my very delicate health.

Here I can be at your orders at any time you may appoint.

My station is Broadstone Junction, from which I am about half a mile off.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
