Dear Newton2

You are really too kind in your acknowledgements for the very little I can do to oblige you.

When I get the 2nd. number of the "Ibis" I will put a notice of both in the Reader. It is rather late now for no. 1. alone. This week I [2] have given the Z. Gardens a turn. I hope you approve of what I have said about improvements &c.

Yours very sincerely | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
