Novr. 3rd. 1910.

Dear Mr. Gamble1

I return you the vol. of Linn. Journ.2,3 with many thanks. I have extracted most of the information on the distribution of the Dipterocarps, 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,4 which I am just passing final proofs of now—

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
