Dear Mr. Hemsley1
Many thanks for the trouble you have taken to give me the information in yours just received. The part of the "Flora Brasiliensis" you refer to will no doubt contain all I require, & when I have done my chief editorial work on the Journals &c. I will try & get it from the Linn. Soc. (or the Royal Soc.) library. I have the Obit. notices you name, also the "Rev. Bryologique" — 1886 article, which [2] is very nice sketch of his travels written in French by Spruce2 himself (in the third person) containing a quite vivid account of his adventurous & very dangerous journey through the "Forest of Camelos" — perhaps the richest locality known for Hepaticae. It was really written as an Introduction to his volume on "Hepaticae" published by the Edin. Bot. Society the year before.
Again thanking you.
yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
