My Dear Mr Wallace

I have just seen Mr Leach1 who tells me I have in the memoir2 of Dr W H Harvey of Trinity College Dublin you will find in two or three places allusion to Disa Grandiflora which gives much information as to its culture & habits.

I think you might get [2] the book from the Library of the Linnean Society.

When I was at Dublin Mr Me….. curator of Trin. Col. gardens told me it was needful to avoid certain kinds of pest but I do not remember what the difference was. Perhaps some of your friends may be able to tell you.

Yours sincerely | Henry Deane3 [signature]
