Dr. Richard Budd.1

Dear Sir

Our mutual friend Dr. Cunningham Geikie2 has given me the Photo. & your note on the most interesting case of the Gamekeeper & boy born without forearm.

As I am much interested in this subject[.] I propose sending a short account to "Nature" quoting what you have written. But to make it more complete I should be greatly obliged for some dates. To save [2] you trouble I enclose a Postcard & shall be much obliged if you will fill in what dates you can remember or can easily ascertain.

Believe me | Dear sir | Yours very faithfully | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
