Old Orchard,

Broadstone,

Dorset.

March 2nd. 1913

Dear Mr. Marchant

We shall be pleased to see you on Tuesday, any time, the earlier the better.

I find I am obliged to make a large amount of corrections in the proofs, but am careful always to make the additions and erasions equal, so that if you will see them made correctly I need not have another revise. [2]

Many thanks for offering to make the "Index" — which I gratefully accept.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

P.S. Have you seen the stashing[?] criticism of Sir Oliver Lodge1 and myself in the "Fortnightly" by that crude materialist — Edw[ar]d Clodd2,? It is really absurd — & amusing. A.R.W. [3] [4]3

Lodge, Oliver Joseph (1851-1940). Physicist.
Clodd, Edward (1840-1930). British banker, writer and anthropologist.
