Dear Sir

Hearing that "The
Naturalist" is to send an
expedition to S. Am. I write
to ask you to help me to
get some [charas?].

I will pay a good price
for 100 specimens of each species
or form found. It would
be but little trouble and
would help a little toward
the expenses & help me a
great deal.

[Yrs.?]
T. F. Allen
