Broadstone,

Wimborne

May 15th. 1907

The Director, Royal Gardens, Kew.2

Dear Sir,

Mr D.H.Talbot3 of Sioux City, Iowa, has sent me a number of Photographs (with descriptions on back) of varieties of Maize, grown by himself, and which he thinks to be interesting, as examples of variation, heredity etc and asks me to send them to "some leading Botanical Society".

Would they be of any interest to you,- or the Joddrell professor4 [2] or shall I send them to the Horticultural or Roy[al]. Agricultural Societies?

They are quite useless to me, and I shall be happy to dispose of send them to anyone who may be interested.

Yours very truly | Alfred R Wallace [signature]
