T. H. Thomas Esq.

Dear Mr. Thomas

Many thanks for your letter, and kind offers of assistance. The view you send of the waterfall is not the one I want, which is the much larger lower fall the only one I saw. Mr. Ince1 an artist friend of my brother's published a large lithograph of this fall about 70 years ago.

When on the subject of waterfalls have you ever seen [2] the "Pistyll Rhaidr" on the south side of the Berwyn mountains on the borders of Montgomeryshire & Denbighshire about 10 miles west of Oswestry. I visited it a great many years ago from Corwen. It is remarkable for having a bar of rock across the middle of it fro through which the water shoots. It is a fine wild bit of country should you ever be in that district in the summer.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

Ince, Joseph Murray (1806-1859). Welsh painter.
