Octr. 24th. 1910

Dear Mr. Gamble1

Pray excuse my troubling you again, but I should much like to see the paper2on Dipterocarpaceae by Sir D. Brandis,3 — whose name I cannot find in the Linn. Soc. List or I would write to him.

Can you kindly lend me your copy of the "Journal" [2] contg. it? for a few days, as my set is not here.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
