LONDON.

A. R. Wallace Esq

Dear Sir

I am afraid I have not such Cambodian types as you require.

I think you will get what will suit you in Leut. Garnier's1 [illeg.] work2 published, I think by Hachette et Cie Paris [.] It ought to be found [2] in the principal libraries[.]

It is very fully illustrated. It is a record of the first great Govt. Expedition of the French about the year 1866.

Yours very truly | J Thomson3 [signature]
