Broadstone, Wimborne.

Feb.[ruar]y 27th. 1908

Mess.[e]rs Macmillan & Co.2

Dear Sirs3

I send you 3 more Photos of vegetation I have just received from Para, which will serve to illustrate Spruce's4 book.

As I have now got the first proofs, I should like to have, as soon as possible, [2] rough prints of all the illustration you have decided to use, so that I can see where they will best come, and, if necessary, add a few words of explanation in the text.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]5
