Broadstone, Wimborne

My dear Sir Joseph1

I send you my application to the Sec[retar]y of the Royal Society2, which I put in a large envelope so that you can enclose yours letter & Sir C. Markham's3 if you think proper, and post it.

I am having the letters copied at Kew, and so far as I have seen they will be very interesting.

Thank you for your kind assistance —

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace[signature]

Sir J. D Hooker.
