British Museum

Dear Sir

I have this morning sent the objects collected by A. R Wallace by parcel post addressed to "The Keeper of Ethnography, British Museum". I trust they arrive safely.

Included are the following—

1 large figure from Dorey (N. Dutch New Guinea)

2 small""

1 hard wood charm"

1 spoon"

1 carved front ornament from figure(?)

1 clay heater from Dorey

1 Clay heater from Dorey

1 Cocoa nut scoop, probably from Dorey

1 birdshaped float from Batanta

1 waist band — Ceram

Human hair — Timor

[2] 1 stone axe from the Upper Amazon

1 Comb from the Amazon

Should any formal acknowledgment be made please include the name of my sister, Miss Wallace who shares with me the ownership ^{of things} associated with our father.

I may mention that the carved stone figure from Modjo-pahit, Java, which is illustrated on p. 78 "The Malay Archipelago" is in Charterhouse School Museum at Godalming. When I was last there is was unlabelled! It seems quite out of place in a school museum.

Yours faithfully | W. G. Wallace [signature]
