My dear Dr Wallace

I was a few times to thank you for your new book1 copy of which I have received. I have not had time to read it yet but it is, I am sure, exceedingly interesting. I have looked up what you said about the botanical species and later on when I have finished reading the book I will write to you again.

With kind regards | Yours very faithfully | H. Deane2 [signature]
