My dear Sir Joseph1

After a very long delay Williams & Norgate have sent me the part of the "Flora Brasiliensis"2 with the Biographies of Botanical collections, with the enclosed Invoice which I forward to you. It seems it was out of print and there is a small increase of price for the reprint.

[2] I see it contains little more than an exact list of localities collected at, the total "numbers" of the species, and very short biography of each collector.

When I have got what I can out of it I will send it on to you.

Believe me | Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
