Nutwood Cottage, Godalming.

June 29th. 1881

Dear Dr. Murie2

I am pretty sure that I returned "Jones’ Botany of the Bermudas"3 a few days or weeks after having it, as it contained very little that I required. It may have been overlooked if returned with other books. Will you please see if I returned any books after the 28th. of January 1881, as if so I am sure to have returned that with these. It was only a pamphlet.

Yours faithfully| Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

Dr. James Murie

[2] cannot find the pamphlet. The last books returned were those returned same day as this was taken away Jan 28 1880.4
