Parkstone, Dorset.

May 14th. 1891

Dear Mr. Harting1

I wrote to Sir Joseph Hooker2 about a book or Report of Baron von Müellers, giving statistical and other information on the Flora of Australia. I cannot make out the title he gives so I enclose his note, & I dare say you can make it out. If in the library please send it me & I will return it in a week.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
