Dear Bates1
Silk2, who is staying with me, tells me you spoke to him about my editing a book for Dr.Bennett,3I presume D’Albertis’4travels in New Guinea. I should be very glad to do this,5 as I have just been writing a new chapter on New Guinea for Stanford’s6 Book.
Please inform Dr. Bennett if you see or write to him. I7 have heard nothing from Dr. B[ennett]. Is [one word illegible] D’Albertis in London now? I should much like to see him.
Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
