Note:

Note in A. R. Wallace's hand re the loss of the original Ms of his paper sent to Darwin; written on a brown envelope approx 24 cm x 14 cm, with text: "The first 8 letters I received from Darwin - (while in the Malay Archipelago) | N B The Mss of my paper sent to Darwin and printed in the Journal of the Linnean Society, was not returned to me, and seems to be lost.

The envelope was empty when listed. Place: Ternate Moluccas Netherlands Indies Notes: The letters were probably those sent to Cockerell for exhibition during the Darwin Centenary 1909: see letter from Cockerell 23 Mar 1909 (WP11/4). Dated on this basis and the possibility that the letters were first set aside for use when writing his autobiography, which he began in 1902: see letter to his son William 16 Mar 1902 (WP1/1/44).

Note:
[1904]
Four loose folios of notes in A. R. Wallace's hand, with dates and brief descriptions of letters to him from Charles Darwin, in an envelope from Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, postmarked on the back 13 Dec 1904, addressed to Wallace and annotated in his hand in ink on the back "Darwin's letters used in my Autobiography." This annotation has been crossed through in pencil and the following further annotations in pencil in another hand (WGW's?) added: " A. R. Wallace's notes | & Darwin notes on "Island Life" - 6 f pages | & letters of A. R. Wallace to Mr Pascoe - written from Celebes & Batchian." Only A. R. Wallace's notes re Darwin's letters are now in the envelope. The folios are begin (1): "Darwin's Letters | 1864 May. About paper on 'Man' ..." Notes: Dated from the envelope postmark and evidence in letters from A. R. Wallace to his family in 1904 mentioning work on his autobiography. At least one of the letters listed, re the colour of caterpillars, is quoted in vol. 2 of "My Life" so it is a reasonable assumption that this list DOES refer to quotes used in or considered for, A. R. Wallace's autobiography despite the deletion on the envelope.
