Mar 20 80
Dear Mr Darwin
If one of your sons would come to the Anthropological Institute on Mar 23rd next Tuesday my paper on what I believe is a new law directing change of Species I should be very glad to see him.1 I hope you have passed a good winter
A R Wallace complains of cold and the East Wind
Is it not possible that some small appointment should be found for him? He feels the labour of working for the Booksellers rather trying I fear when he is not very strong He is 57 years of age and has been much discouraged since he was unsuccessful in his application for the manager of Epping Forest in November last—2
Believe me to remain | Yours very truly | Alfred Tylor | of Carshalton
