Broadstone, Wimborne

Jany. 28th. 1909

Many happy returns (& lots of work) on your birthday! I am just writing to Mr. Hall2 of Buenos Aires, for locality of orchid the Castnia came from. The date of emergence was Decr. 26th. 1908.

I am so overwhelmed with papers of every kind that I had rather not have more sent me, and notices, even of my own books are usually very uninteresting!

Miss Pascoe, Burlington Road, Paddington in case the card dropped out!3

Yours very truly| Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
