My dear Evans¹,

Mr W. G. Wallace², son of the late Alfred Russel Wallace informs me that they are collecting material for a volume of Letters and Reminiscences of his father, and he would like very much to know what position Wallace’s work in the Amazon Valley now holds, and whether his map of the Rio Negro³ is still considered correct.

Probably you could answer this as well as anyone, and if you would send me a statement on the subject I should be much obliged, or if you prefer it, you can communicate direct with W. G. Wallace, Tulgey Wood⁴ [sic], Broadstone, Dorset. If there is anyone else you think one might write to on the subject you might let me know.

Mr. Wallace also enquires whether all the places visited explored by his father have been visited by later scientific explorers.

yours very truly, [No signature] [John Scott Keltie]
