From A. B. Buckley 20 December 1879
1 St Mary’s Terrace | Paddington W
Dec 20/79
Dear Mr. Darwin,
Thank you so very much for all the trouble you have taken— I 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 place—1
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.
