Mariemont,

Edgbaston.

3 February 1914.

Dear Mr Wallace2,

I have not been able to find many letters of your Father’s, but such as I have I send.

I send them just as they are — pencillings and all. Please understand that the pencillings do not apply to you. One, I am afraid, is only a copy, with apparently something omitted at the end; but it will be correct so far as it goes.

Yours very truly | Oliver Lodge3
