Old Orchard,

Broadstone,

Wimborne.

July 29th. 1908

Dear Mr. Waterhouse1

The enclosed small Longicorns came out yesterday of the roots of an Orchid I received from Buenos Ayres, some months ago (a Brazilian species of Stanhopea I believe). Perhaps if you have them, you will kindly give me the name and native country if they are well known.

If common, do what you like with them, but I hope they may be worth keeping.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
