WP1/4 Letters to Annie Mitten/Wallace
13 letters and 2 postcards from Alfred Russel Wallace to his wife
Annie, from Britain and Europe 1879-1903; 2 letters to Annie
from Arabella B Buckley 1883. See also letters from Alfred
Russel Wallace to Annie Wallace in letters from America and
Canada, WP1/5
Name: Wallace, Annie, née Mitten, 1846-1914
Notes: The letters by Alfred Russel Wallace were removed from
general correspondence initially listed with ref WP1/19 including
those in subject files labelled in WGW's? hand, almost certainly
selected by or for James Marchant for use in writing ''Alfred
Russel Wallace - Letters and Reminiscences'' ( London 1916). The
letters by Arabella Buckley were removed from a brown
cardboard box in the form of a book, titled ''Letters'' on spine,
containing various apparently unrelated letters and other papers
(old ref WP2/1).
