Dear Mr. Wallace,

I did not answer your last letter about your friend Mr. F. Birch, as I have been away from home. I do not know that I have much in the way of papers on insects that would help a collector in British Guiana, but if J. B. is likely to be in Town before [2] he starts & could call at 10 Chandos St[reet]. Cavendish Sq[uare]. both Champion & I could tell him & show him certain things that might be useful to him. Champion has been an unusually good collector of insects & has had several years experience in the tropics & would I am sure tell him all he could.

If he can come I think he should give me a few days notice, or [3] I might be engaged elsewhere.

I could show him several things that it would be difficult to explain in writing. I will gladly do all I can for him.

Y[ou]rs very truly | J. D. Godman [signature]
