Broadstone, Wimborne

Decr. 11th. 1906

My dear Sir Joseph1

I send you my application to the Sec.y of the Royal Society, which I put in a large envelope so that you can enclose yours letter & Sir C. Markham's2 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.
