My dear Poulton
Miss Pascoe has sent me all the separate papers on Coleoptera in her father[‘]s possession, as I told her I would look over these[,] keep any that specially interested me & send the rest to you.
I found very few I wanted, chiefly Presidents[‘] Addresses, and a few descriptions of S[outh] American Longicorns & Curculios, I want to send to Birch. The rest nearly 100 in number I think, [2] chiefly by Pascoe, and Bates — I now send you as I am pretty sure they will be useful for making up systematic volumes for use in the Museum.
Any duplicates you can give to those interested.
I am making a regular clearance up of literary rubbish, having a few new book shelves put up, &c. before beginning work again. — Hoping for Spring —
Yours very faithfully| Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
