Hillfield,

Reigate

My dear Mr. Wallace,

I am much obliged to you for the eggs of the Leaf Insect — I will try and see what I can do with them. I have a plant of one of the Guavas & I will give the young ones should they come forth from the egg a chance on one of its branches —

Yours very truly | W Wilson Saunders1 [signature]

A. R. Wallace Esq etc
