My dear Mr. Cockerell,
Thanks for the notes about new Galapagos birds. I had some of them but not all. I send you the MSS. of your list of British var[ieties]. of mollusca. Will you kindly put the finishing touch to it by inserting localities as far as known to all. Eng.[land] Scot.[land] or Ireland — or a county when very local. I hate to see localities put to some & not to all. Perhaps the list wants weeding. Please cut out [2] all that are doubtful hope this will not trouble you much. When you are in Jamaica you will be out of reach. I have a thousand Ex[aminatio]n papers in hand so excuse haste.
Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
