Dear Mr. Gamble

I return you the vol[ume]. of Linn[ean]. Journ[al]. with many thanks. I have extracted most of the information on the distribution of the Dipterocarps,2[sic] which I had not known to extend to Amboyna and New Guinea, & was just in time to correct an error in the MSS. of my book,3 which I am just passing final proofs of now —

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
