Frith Hill, Godalming
Decr 8th. 1882
My dear Lubbock
Many thanks for your kind invitation, which I am sorry to be again obliged to decline, as I never go out in winter except when compelled, as I find the risk of taking cold very great & the result perhaps a serious illness. For this reason I am obliged to decline all lecturing engagements in Winter. Hoping however to have the pleasure of seeing you in the Summer
Believe me | Yours very faithfully | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
