Jan. 3d. 1881 (After our 2d Post)
My dear Bates
I am rather alarmed about the Memorial for Wallace.— Mr. Sclater wrote that he had forwarded it to you.— Have you received it & on what day did you forward it to Sir J. Hooker.?1 Pray forgive me troubling you.— I am much disappointed in not having been able to get the M. into Mr Gladstone’s hands some days before meeting of Parliament.—2
Yours very sincerely | Ch. Darwin
