6, John Street, Adelphi,

London, W.C.

January 6th 1912

Doctor Russell Wallace,

Dear Sir,

I understand that you are writing a book on the subject of Social Evolution & Moral Progress. I should esteem it an honour if you would let me have the opportunity of publishing it. I am confident that, if your book were published at say 6d or 1/-, it would have a tremendous sale amongst the working classes.

Yours faithfully, |W. J. Ham-Smith[signature]

At the top of the letter "Answ[ere]d" is handwritten and underlined in an unidentified hand.
In the top left corner, the words "W.J. Ham-Smith | Publisher | Telephone: 2971 Gerard." are printed.
