Frith Hill, Godalming.

July 16th. 1883

Dear Mr. Meldola1

Thanks for the Burnet’s pupae. We shall be glad of some of the 5. spot if you meet with them to compare with the "meliloti". We got one black moth & 2 or 3 gladiolus on our way to the Station. I enclose you copy of the Japan paper on mimicry (of which I have 3). I have not been able to give time to understand it.

You do not say if your mother [2] can come next Sunday. If not I think it must be put off till after the holidays as we have some other friends coming the Sunday after. Let me have a card by return.

Yours truly| Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

Meldola, Raphael (1849-1915). British chemist and entomologist.
