Dear Mr. Galton2

Many thanks for your paper. I am in the midst of Ex[aminatio]n. Papers, but when I have got through with them I shall read it,— & perhaps write a letter to "Nature3" on the genera & species question.

I enclose you my "recognition marks".—

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
