April 14th.

My dear Sir1

I fear I have nothing of much interest that I have not already exhibited at previous Soirees, — and as I am now staying at Hurstpierpoint2 I cannot conveniently look over my collections— If however when next in town I can think of anything suitable [2] I shall be most happy to let you have it.

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

George Bentham Esq.

2
Home of the Mittens, Treeps, Hurstpierpoint, Sussex, England.
