James Brooke is expecting ARW to join a tour of western Sarawak which he is preparing (page 9) (he didn't). The rest of the letter relates to Grant (his family, past work and future plans as a government official) and Sarawak's political and domestic affairs.
ARW has queried the reported size of an orangutan (pages 10 and 11) in a letter full of domestic and political detail about Sarawak.
ARW is at Peninjau with James Brooke, Spenser St John and his brother (page 1) but is about to leave soon, which causes Brooke to give a pleasing character description (page 5), in a letter otherwise full of domestic and political detail about Sarawak.

Brooke requests a copy of ARW’s papers relating to Sarawak and Sadong. [Wallace, A. R. 1856. Notes of a Journey Up the Sadong River, North-West Borneo. Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society, 1(6): 193-205.]

Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society, 1(6): 193-205.] He is critical of ARW’s views on the tendency of the Dayaks towards extinction. Brooke is unwell and expresses a “cool” attitude towards the signs of death.
