Advises ARW on obtaining employment in British Guiana for an acquaintance.
There are few people in England now acquiring tropical collections. Walter Rothschild is willing to pay good prices for mammals, birds and Lepidoptera, but is less interested in smaller fauna. Discusses the potential of profitable collecting in Cuba, British Guiana and the Sierra Nevada.
The work of collectors who have worked in South America including British Guiana, and who have collected Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. British Guiana would be a profitable country and is easy of access a long way in land. Offers to introduce ARW to Walter Rothschild, who might be of help.
Rothschild cannot at present engage another collector [i.e. Frederick Birch] for the Museum. Offers suggestions of possible purchasers, and that Birch might find employment on the Cuban railways.
