Scope and content

On headed notepaper for Newman at Bexley, Kent. - It is no use to send pupae of [an undeciphered species] as they would emerge in the post; sends instead three male and three female Virpics [?] 'just out this afternoon alive'. Onslow should note the number on the box, which refers to broods, to avoid inbreeding. Thinks he must pay twelve shillings and sixpence for these, 'they are very cheap at that specially alive'. A note on the back records that seventeen shillings and sixpence was paid.
