Dear Sir3

Many thanks for the list of articles, papers &c. on Primulas, which will be very useful to me. Also for your kindness in sending me copies of the Kew Bull.4 on introduced plants since 1903. As these however have nor not yet reached me I fear they have been [2] overlooked in your office and therefore write without further delay.

Though we have been a month here without any rain (though much has fallen within a few miles of us) the Alpines you and other kind friends have sent me are looking fairly well and many are coming into flower.

Yours very truly| Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
