CANFORD MANOR

WIMBORNE

8 April 1890.

Lord Wimborne1 presents his compliments to Mr Wallace, and is very sorry he is not able to grant him the permission he asks to be allowed to go [2] all over the fields & woods in search of flowers, as unfortunately the breeding season is just coming in and considerable disturbance to [3] the nesting would be caused by searching the covers and hedgerows.
