Sir W.T. Thiselton-Dyer
Dear Sir William
Seeing a notice last January of that fine Jacobinia chrysostephana in flower at Kew, and not finding it in any catalogues I have, I return to ask if you have any young plants, & could spare me one, as I have now a warm greenhouse, both airy & sunny, where I can grow such things. As a result of these better conditions, with plenty of good potting loam, I have now Lissochilus krebsi finely in flower [2] for the first time after keeping it 8 — 10 years!
With best wishes | Believe me | Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace— [signature]
