Dear Sir
If you have any time for miscellaneous reading this writer would you be able to read over my "Island Life" making notes as to omissions or errors of fact? I have to prepare a new & cheap edition of the book & should like to bring its facts and arguments up to date so far as I can without very large additions. Your reading and knowledge of Nat[ural] Hist[ory] are so extensive that your notes [2] would be of great use to me. If you can find time to do this & have not got the book I will instruct my publishers to send you a copy.
Yours very truly | Alfred R Wallace. [signature]

Dear Sir:1
If you have any time for miscellaneous reading this winter would you be able to read over my "Island Life" making notes as to omissions or errors of fact? I have to prepare a new and cheap edition of the book and should like to bring its facts and arguments up-to-date as far as I can without very large additions. Your reading and knowledge of Natural History are so extensive that your notes would be of great use to me. If you can find time to do this and have not got the book I will instruct my publishers to send you a copy.
