May 3rd. [1865]1

Dear Newton2

I enclose you a sketch from "Swinhoe"3 who says he has sendt some notes about the Birds. Item, he complains fiercely about not getting the "Ibis" regularly.

When I get the 2nd. number of the "Ibis" I will write a notice for the "Reader" on the two together. It is now rather late in the [2] day to notice the first alone.

Hoping you are quite well, & will call when you come to town, (as I am now quite convenient for the Gardens)[.]

Believe me | yours very sincerely | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

A. Newton Esq.
