Dear Mr. Slater

I was very glad to receive the "Journal" at last. It seems very full of interesting matter, but as the writing is often very small, crowded, and full of contractions, it will I think have to be type-written with ample spaces left where fresh subjects begin for interpolations from letters and the various essays on subjects connected with his travels.

Will you now get together all the articles on Spruce's travels, or letters from him published in [2] Hooker's Journal of Botany [?] I see there are 8 in Vol.2. and 12 in Vol.7.

Also from Sir Clement Markham's list — in Vol. 3, 4, 5, & 6.

Also others in the "Journals" of the Linn.Soc, R.Geog.Soc. and the Q. Journal of the Geological Soc.

Any of these you have, I should like to see, but you need not send them yet, till I find out whether a publisher can be found.

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