Correspondence:
Williams James Leon, Wallace Alfred Russel
1913?--1913
Undated (c.1913?) draft letter in pencil in A. R. Wallace's? hand on 4 folios of exercise book paper, to "Dear Sir" re variation and natural selection, beginning "It is not easy to make the ordinary reader understand such as question as to variation as you put to me…" unsigned and with corrections; possibly to J Leon Williams (See WP16/1/69) about July 1913; enclosed when listed in an envelope postmarked 25 Jun 1913 addressed to W G Wallace (A. R. Wallace's son William) annotated on the back in pencil in WGW's hand "To J Leon? Williams (Biol)" together with a stamped envelope with a return address: WP16/1/69 (2 and 3) Notes: The hand in which the draft is written may be WGW acting as amanuensis though in my opinion it is A. R. Wallace's. Both are very similar - see WGW's ms sketch of his Father's life, in WP2/4, written on the same type of paper. Broken at folds and acidic; empty envelope addresses to Williams was partly sealed when examined but easily unstuck, probably pressure of folding sealed it.
