Old Orchard, Broadstone, Dorset.
"Prof. L. H. Pammel.

Dear Sir:

    Thanks for your kind letter of April, last. Since receiving it I have been suffering from eczema and some other diseases, which has made me unable to cope with my ever growing correspondence. I am afraid I have mislaid the paper on the Bog Flora of Iowa. I amuse myself with growing plants, especially shrubs, Alpine and Bog plants. Perhaps you could get for me Primulas from the Rock Mts. of P. Parryi, P. Rusbyi, or P. suffrutescens. To grow such plants is now one of my chief pleasures.

Yours very truly,
Alfred R. Wallace.
