Broadstone, Wimborne.

Jany 13th. 1906

John D. Enys1 Esq.

Dear Mr. Enys

I was glad to hear from you again. I am sorry I did not understand (or did not remember) what your explanation was as to the watercress & willows. In any future reprinting I will add a note to the giving your explanation.

I have built myself a house here where I have lived 3 years, and have got a large wild garden [2] and numbers of rare & tender plants— mostly Australian & N. Zealand shrubs which I have raised from seed. If you are ever passing this way on your way from or to London I hope you will give us a call. I suppose you have none of the Ranunculus Lyalli to spare— if you have, I should like to have a plant.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
