Dear Mr. Wallace

In dealing with the natural History part of the Data of Sociology, I hardly dare trust myself without check; and I am desirous of having the benefit of your criticisms— alike as Naturalist, Anthropological, and traveller.

On three short chapters which are to follow, treating of primitive man— physical, emotional and intellectual, I should also like to have your opinion.

Truly Yours | Herbert Spencer [signature]
