THE FERNS,

29. ii. [19]162

Dear Sir3,

Your letter with enclosures reached me this morning.

I return the proofs as far as I have been able to correct them[.]

p[age]. 251 which does not concern me contains a quite remarkable error.

I am retaining pp. [pages] 95. 98 which contain my letter of Feb[ruary]. 12. 1911. I am completely baffled in my attempts to correct the proof. Please let me see my original letter. I cannot do anything with the proof without seeing what I actually wrote[.]

Yours faithfully | W. T. Thiselton-Dyer4 [signature]
