Broadstone, Dorset.

Decr. 13th. 1903

My dear Poulton1

I have written my name on the bottom of the print, and a short inscription on the back of the Photo., as I did not want to run the risk of spoiling the latter but by one of those blots or slips which are apt to occur when one is particularly careful to avoid them.

Yours very truly| Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
