Dear M.1

[8 November 1888]2

Have you the Electrotypes of Fritz Müllers3 Mimicking Butts. given in Proc. Ent. Soc. 1879 p. XXI. & if so can I have them for my book? Or must I apply to the Ent. Soc. for them? Do you know of any other woodcuts illustrating mimicry of any kind that I could get. New ones are too expensive as I want my book to be cheap.
