Dear Mr Wallace2,
I am sending with kindest regards the instalment of the Civil list Pension3. //
The other day I picked up in a second hand list of papers a copy of Fleming [sic] Jenkin’s4 criticism of Darwin5 in the N[orth]. British Review6 — the criticism to which Darwin attached more weight than any other. I have long wanted to get hold of it. The date I think is 1867. I have been frightfully busy breeding moths from the point of view of [2] Mendelian7 heredity & also to test the hered[itar].y. transmission of small variations. Pairing them for next year [demands?] rather a lot of time & attention.
With kindest regards, | Yours very sincerely, | E. B Poulton8 [signature]
