Parkstone, Dorset.

Oct[obe]r. 16th. 1893

Edward Clodd Esq.1

Dear Sir

In yours of May 14th last year, acknowledging return of some letter I had written to Bates, you said I might probably have them again to copy.

As I have now some leisure I should be very glad to have them if they are still in your charge or if you can obtain them. Those I particularly wish to see are of2 [2] the following dates: -

Dec. 28. 1845

April 11. 1866

Oct. 1867

Jan. 4. 1858

Dec. 10. 1861

Dec. 24. 1860

As these cannot be of any use or interest to Mr. Bates, now that you have made what use of them you could, perhaps he would let me keep them. [3] If not however I shall be very glad to have them to copy.

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