My dear Sir

I enclose my ``Carte de Visite'' for Mr B D Walsh— I should be obliged to you to ask him if it be possible to obtain a portrait either of the late Thomas Say or Thaddeus W. Harris— of course I should also be glad to have the portrait of Mr. Walsh ``en carte de Visite'' & any other brother Entomologist of the New World—as also yours—

Believe me | Yours very truly | Jno O Westwood
