My dear Percival Wright

I am now correcting proofs for a new edition of my Island Life2 & shall be much obliged if you can give me any corrections or additions to the short account I gave of the productions of the Seychelles — chiefly from your information — at pp. 430-34 of the last edition.3 [2] Trusting you are well.

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