Old Orchard,

Wimborne.

Revd. A. Miles Moss.1

Dear Sir

I duly received the papers, & was glad to see that you are back in England.

I am just now very much overworked having a book in process of printing, with its usual worries. I would rather you would come later — say in the Spring. Now the weather is vile. I would advise you when in London [2] to see the Secretary of the Entomological Society, about your larvae &c. But there are plenty of good Entomologists in Cambridge whereas I have had nothing to do with Entomology for many, many years.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace. [signature]
