Parkstone, Dorset.

March 6th. 1890

Dear Prof. Lankester,1

I hardly know how to answer your very kind & flattering invitation. In the first place I have never been used to address students, and in the next, I think that I shall be away from home the latter half of May and probably beginning of June. I think therefore I must decline for this year, but perhaps next year I might find myself more able to do what you ask.

Believe me | Yours very faithfully | Alfred R. Wallace

Prof. E. Ray Lankester

Lankester, Edwin Ray ("Ray") (1847-1929). British zoologist.
