| Description: |
Letter, apparently a rough draft, from Ernest F Bates to "Dear sir" (A. R. Wallace?) in reply to an enquiry made by the correspondent on behalf of a friend, undated and without address, with numerous corrections, on a sheet apparently torn from an exercise book, re the death of the writer's father (Frederick Bates?) on October 6th, his father's entomological work and books, and the possibility of the correspondent's friend obtaining information about his uncle's ( H W Bates?) papers from O E Janson. |
