Maxwell T. Masters Esq,

Dear Sir

I have obtained the catalogue you named & others, & I find that Messr. Cutbush3 have the largest collection of Ericas & will be able to supply me with a good assortment of species to try out of doors. I shall also try many other half-hardy plants but my space is limited. Thanking you for your information,

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