Dear Sir

I venture to mail to you a little paper of mine on Development[,] what it can do, and what it cannot do''[.] I hope you may be interested in it[.] <It?> accords with your views[.]

I read Darwin's¹ work on the Origin of Species when it was published and saw that there was truth. I also read your paper when it appeared[.]

I was at that time a professor of Philosophy in Queen's College Belfast[.] I am now President of Princeton College in this country[.]

You argue that there is something in man which cannot be accounted [2] for by natural development[.]

I concur in this, and endeavor to show that there have been a succession of new powers in the Apes of which man is the culmination[.]

I am | Yours truly
