My dear MacAlpine

Will2 tells me you are in London & would like a few Zoo Tickets.2 I enclose 6. I hear the Zoo is so changed & improved as to be hardly recognisable since I was there last 10 — or 15 years ago. Should you be anywhere within 20 miles of us come & give us a look-up. I [1 word illeg] fairly well, but feel the weight of 88 years!

Yours faithfully | Alfred R Wallace [signature]
