[in ARW’s hand] Wrote asking for “copy”

REGENT’S PARK. N.W.

12th Jan. 1912.

Dear Mr Wallace,

I have fathomed the mystery. I gave the Daily Mail representative a marked copy of the R. S. [Royal Society] Fellows. The name of opposite forms on the preceding page, Turner, was marked, & the mark shows through. It is a sort of accident. I see that your repudiation¹ has been published. I don’t know anything of any other name; if there was, it may have been due to a like cause. But I am not a regular reader of the Daily Mail, & haven’t noticed the fact you mention.

Yours faithfully | William Ramsay [signature]
