My dear Poulton
The enclosed is Miss Pascoe’s Address in London. She will be there through February, so if you make an appointment the next time you are in London, she will show you what Collections of her father’s are left, and I am sure, from what she said, that you can have whatever you like. I hope [2] there will be something good.
It might perhaps be well if you took a lot of gummed labels with your name & address to stick on to all the boxes or cabinets you wished to have as then you could send a man to pack & dispatch them without giving Miss Pascoe further trouble.
There may be some good Entomological books you want, & think you can have [3] those too, especially if they are foreign or deal with foreign insects.
Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
