WP7/10 Note re the loss of the original Ms of ARW's paper sent to
Darwin
Note in Alfred Russel 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 proofs
with the Mss. were Perhaps sent to Sir Charles Lyell, or to the
Secretary of the Linn. Soc. or may some day be found. It was
written on thin foreign note paper. | Alfred R. Wallace''.
The envelope was empty when listed.
Name: Darwin, Charles Robert, 1809-1882
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). See also proof of Ternate
paper, WP7/9.
