Dear Mr. Darwin,

Thank you so very much for all the trouble you have taken — I suppose it is hopeless, & indeed I have always feared that Mr. Wallace’s want of worldly caution might injure him, though [2] he would be a most valuable man in the right place¹—

Except for the trouble it has given you I cannot regret that I made the attempt if

only to know that nothing is possible. I hear of you from time [3] to time when I meet Mr. Wedgwood² & was glad to hear that you are keeping well —

With very many thanks | Yours sincerely | Arabella B Buckley [signature]
