PARKSTONE,

Dear Mr. Ridley1
Many thanks for the box of Coelogyne Cummingii which arrived in very good order and I think will grow. I find it very difficult to preserve the small species like Bulbophyllum and Cirrhopetalum, because I cannot keep a sufficiently uniform temp. in my small house which is rather exposed to the wind. I must therefore keep to the rather large species.
With best wishes | Believe me | yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
