E. H. Man. Esq.1

Dear Sir

Many thanks for your interesting volume2 on the Andaman Islanders which has been handed me by my friend Mr. Vivyan.

It seems to me to be a very complete and valuable monograph on the subject, & is especially useful as correcting some of the gross misstatements at first put forth respecting these interesting people.

Believe me | yours faithfully | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
