Kew.

Feby. 8. 1894.

Dear Mr. Wallace,

I find that, as a fact, Spruce1 was elected A. L. S. a few months before his death. I took a personal interest in the matter and I am glad to think that it gave him real pleasure. His death occurring in the same official year as his election his name [2] does not appear in either the earlier or the later list.

Yours sincerely | W. T. Thiselton-Dyer2 [signature]
