THE CAMP,

SUNNINGDALE.

March 18 1907

Dear Wallace

Thanks for you note2 about Ezyema — I will go into the matter.

I had no sooner posted my note to you on Botany than I remembered that there was information on the subject of Brazilian collection on the concluding facsimile of Martin's good work, I wrote directly to Hemsley3 about it, I am glad to know that he has forestalled me.

My impression is that the Linnean cannot lend me you the facsimile; the works being a gigantic folio in many volumes I will gladly pay for a type written copy of the article. Also for a translation. Can you manage this for me? When you [2] have done with it I would give it to Prain4 for the Kew Bulletin.

Ever yours | JDH5[signature]
