3, High Wycombe, Hastings.

Feby. 2nd. 1889

Dear Mr. Poulton1

Will you be so good as to send me, here, by return of post, the name of the flower-Mantis you had the drawing of. I find I have stupidly omitted the name in my reference to it, & being here, cannot get it. Proofs waiting.

In haste| Yours truly| Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
