Dear Mr. Reid
I was wondering whether you had returned to Dorset when I received your letter. I shall be glad to see Mr Ridley, but it must be after the Examination Papers are got rid of. Our first meeting is on Tuesday and I shall probably finish by the end of the month — so about that time or the first days of June I shall be glad to see him.
I envy you your trip to S.W. Ireland. Mr. Mitten was at Brandon mountain a few years back. He found most of the rare mosses but flowering plants are very [2] scarce, except of course the rare saxifrages. Perhaps if you explore the various small valleys you may find something new. Thanks for the I.[?] Naturalist. Your note on the Megaceros[?] is interesting, also the American sponges. We have many gaps in the garden & shall be glad of anything especially Pinguicula[?] grandiflora if you meet with it.
Hoping to see you again soon.
Believe me | Yours very faithfully | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
