My dear Violet1

I send the articles you want — also the moss & flowers separate in hopes you will get them tomorrow morning. I am still busy finishing up the Vaccination paper2 & diagrams. Will not Eleanor3 come with you or is she going home for ‘Xmas. We should be very pleased to see her.

In great haste | Your affect. Pa | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
