Dear Mr. Gamble

Pray excuse my troubling you again, but I should much like to see the paper on Dipterocarpaceae by Sir D. Brandis,2 — whose name I cannot find in the Linn[ean]. Soc[iety]. List or I would write to him.

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

Yours very truly | Alfred R Wallace [signature]
