Dear Wallace,

The Grosbeak from Cameroon is a queer bird & looks like a real Pinieola.

Faux pectoralis common in Eastern parts of Cape Colony (Cf. my catalogue). Is not Surbain[sic].

I don’t remember former letter, but may have forgotten it. I don’t write much for my hand is so weak.

Yours sincerely | R Bowdler Sharpe [signature]
