Dec 20/79

Dear Mr. Darwin,

Thank you so very much for all the trouble you have takenI suppose it is hopeless, & indeed I have always feared that Mr. Wallace’s want of worldly caution might injure him, though 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 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]

CD had written to Buckley to tell her that he did not think it would be possible to secure a government pension for Alfred Russel Wallace (letter to A. B. Buckley, 19 December 1879).
2
Probably Hensleigh Wedgwood, CD’s brother-in-law, who lived in London.
