My dear Slater

Thanks for your reference.

I was sorry to see the news of the loss of your chief collection in the New Guinea Expedition.

Did you notice the par[agraph]. in Nature of Feb[ruar]^y. 17th (p. 464. col. 1) that a Dutch Expedition has reached glaciers, at 15,000 feet altitude, on the southern side of New Guinea, & been quite [2] successful. I hope that is a good omen for yours.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
