Parkstone, Dorset.

Decr. 8th. 1892

Dear Mr. Harting1

Will you be so good as to send me the volume of "Hooker’s2 Flora of British India"3 which contains the Rhododendrons. I will not keep it long. I am beginning to grow the Sikhim species & want to know all about them. If you are ever at Bournemouth give me a call.

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