Broadstone, Wimborne

April 3rd. 1908

Messrs. Macmillan & Co.2

Dear Sirs

Of course I do not wish the parts in sm. type to be reset.

I should like, however, each such portion to have a special heading — in [illeg.] —

Botanical

or For Botanists.

That will I think avoid all misunderstanding, & be useful to those who are seeking special Botanical information [2] and will not I presume cost much to make the alteration.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
