Jany. 20th 1889

My dear Bates1

I have found among my books one belonging to the Societys Library which has remained overlooked for several years. It is "Mackintosh’s Scenery of England & Wales —" I return it by Parcel Post.

Can you forward me by Rail the numbers of the Journal from 1880 to the last issued. The last I had was 1879. I will send you a receipt for them or I authorise you to sign [2] for them in my name.

With best wishes for the new year

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