My dear Sir

I enclose my “Carte de Visite” for Mr B D Walsh—1 I should be obliged to you to ask him if it be possible to obtain a portrait either of the late Thomas Say or Thaddeus W. Harris—2 of course I should also be glad to have the portrait of Mr. Walsh “en carte de Visite”3 & any other brother Entomologist of the New World—as also yours—

Believe me | Yours very truly | Jno O Westwood

Chas Darwin Esq.
