Dear Sir

I am desirous of obtaining a good skin of Seleucides [Seleucidis] alba,1 and not having been able to find one, it has occurr[e]d to me that perhaps among your duplicates you may have one which you would be willing to part with.

Would you kindly let me know, & oblige

Yours Very Truly | D G Elliot [signature]
