The Dell, Grays, Essex

March 5th. 1873

Dear Sharpe

I shall be very glad to see you on Sunday. Trains from Chalk Farm at 10.15 and 10.30 am. and from Fenchurch S[tree]t. 10.52 & 11.22 ... Return ticket from any station on N[orth]. London line 2/6 first class — same[?] from Fenchurch S[tree]t. Plenty of return trains in Evening.

At Grays Station you will see my house on top of hill to left, road as shown by this sketch.2

[2] If you send a card to say which train you will come by I will meet you half way.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

If Mrs. Sharpe can come too my wife will be delighted to see her, — but the weather is not yet very agreeable.

A. R. W.
