Dear Sir

I must again thank you for taking so much trouble about the photographs. These two are a great advance, and I will make use of them in my book. They suggest, however, that a considerable alteration would be advisable in the arrangement of "Geographical Rooms", in a museum, & I will make these photos. the opportunity for a suggestion [2] which, possibly, Professor Agassiz2 may be able to adopt at some future time.

Believe me | yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
