Dear Sir,
I have read with the most intense interest your book on "Man's place in this Universe"1 — & feel very grateful to you for producing such a book.
The conclusions you arrive at have such an important bearing upon the whole of [2] religious life & thought, that I venture to ask if you could supply me with a few maps & charts by which to illustrate the book to uneducated people.
It is my intention to go through it in a popular sort of way [3] with a class of men here. I am not however good at producing diagrams. Perhaps if you cd lend me a few, illustrating each chapter, I might get large ones made which would be invaluable for lecture work. The whole setting of your book is so entirely valuable that I feel the best those who appreciate it can do is to make it known as widely & as intelligently as possible.
[4]I hope you will pardon the liberty I take in addressing you,
Believe me | Very faithfully yrs | F. L. H. Millard2 [signature]
