Old Orchard

Dear Mr Waterhouse

I enclose a shabby little morpho, from Rio Grande do Sul1. Can you give me the name on a post-card, and if it is a common species?2

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

Rio Grande do Sul is the Southernmost state in Brazil.

Written at the end of the letter in an unidentified hand is: "The insect seems a much rubber [?] specimen of Morpho thamyris, Felder not uncommon in Southern Brazil. 12.v.09 Jattern [?]".
