Decr. 10th. 1871.

Dear Stainton1

As you have been as good as to give me information so promptly I will trouble you yet further.

1. May I quote the characters phrases you give me as Hubner's2, 3 as being exact & full translations of his generic characters?

2. Will you be as good as to give me further translations of a few of his characters where he does introduce form as well as colour.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
