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 (2) "Darwin's Letters. | 1871. Jan 30th. About Descent of 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.
