Small lined and ruled notebook with "Addresses" faintly visible on front cover and the remains of a brass clasp on back and front boards; containing very approximately personal and corporate names and addresses in A. R. Wallace's hand, with a few printed address lists and labels pasted onto some pages and onto the inside front cover, and lists of people to whom various A. R. Wallace publications or letters were sent (detailed below).
Addresses are in alphabetical order by name but divided into categories, (by year?) so that there is more than one section A-Z.
Addresses pasted in include a list in newsprint of newspaper offices in London, on the flyleaf underneath a list in A. R. Wallace's hand headed "Paintings". Twelve pages at the back of the book contain gardening notes written upside down relative to the front pages and beginning on the last page of the book.

A loose business card from Parsons & Hayter, Builders and Estate Agents of Swanage and Wareham, is enclosed between pp 63 and 64.
The notebook is approximately 16cm x 9cm, approximately 120 pages, of which 12 between the address and gardening notes section are blank.

Four botanical pamphlets by Richard Spruce 1866-1887, three with annotations in A. R. Wallace's hand (c. 1907?), one botanical work by Matthew B Slater 1906; printed obituary notice of Spruce by Isaac Bayley Balfour 1900, with passages marked (by A. R. Wallace?) and printed memoir of George Bentham by J D Hooker, 1898. Notes: Last date based on the fact that A. R. Wallace was working on his edition of Spruce's "Notes of a Botanist on the Amazon and Andes" in 1906 and 1907.(See letters from A. R. Wallace on the subject, mainly 1907). All the pamphlets have been put into one acid-free envelope but should probably go into individual acid-free containers. PJL 15/4/03
