UNITED HOTEL

LONDON

Dear Sir

I leave for Buenos Ayres in a week and should be very glad to hear from you if the plants and seeds I sent you last May2 have turned out well. If I can get any others for you I shall have great pleasure in doing so.

As I am professionally connected with almost all the railways in the River Plate I have facilities for procuring and sending over any curiosities or information you may desire[.]

I am sir | Yours sincerely | John Cogleton3 [signature]

Alfred R Wallace Esqr
