Dear Hooker¹

As I have a bad cold and hoarseness I cannot come to the Linnean tonight, and cannot come over to Kew till next week when I will try to do so.

I am glad to hear the Leaf Insects are out at last. I see Mr. Woodbury² says they are very restless the first ten days but that afterwards they become [2] motionless & only feed.

I have no doubt if you have put them on Guava or Eugenia plants, that some of them will survive. Many thanks for your care of them. I will come as early as I can next week to see them.

Yours very faithfully | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
