Dear Dr. Woodward1

I enclose a list of the Figures and Plates from the "Guides", of which I should like to have electro copies for my proposed book — "The World of Life".2

Should any of them not be available I should be much obliged if you could tell me of any English book which contains them or any [2] of the same group.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
