Dear Sir

I beg to thank you for the information you have given me as to the floras of Trop. and South Africa, and as to where I may get further information.

Your letter4 seems to be also a sufficient reply to my later letter,5 to the Director,6 as to Tropical S. America & Malaya.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
