Old Orchard,
Broadstone,
Dorset.
Novr. 12th. 1912
My dear Poulton
I really know nothing of Dr. Karl Jordan’s work except that he has described many Lepidoptera and published a Catalogue or Monograph of Papilionidae. But that is hardly sufficient for me to recommend him for the F.R.S.1
As for Miss Pascoe’s address, it was 1 Burlington Road, Paddington, but I think [2] she has sold that house & now lives near Reigate somewhere.
But I will send and get her address from her friend here — Miss Jaguet[?] — & enclose it in this letter.
I am — for me— very busy now with two small books on hand, one semi-philosophical — on Environment & Morality — promised this 2 years — & the other on the Labour [3] Problem. But I now have to work very slowly, & the war-news every day must be read —
Yours very truly| Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
P.S. Miss Pascoe’s address is Horley, Surrey.
