Dear Sir

I have yours of 2^d with proof.

As M. Quatrefages¹ has written one of the ablest ethnological ^or anthropological works in the french [sic] language, "L'unité de l'espèce humaine",² one of your recent additions will hardly mend matters — but perhaps you will allow your name to be appended to the article? It is simply a controversy & your article is kind & courteous, therefore there need be no hesitation on your part — & it will keep me allright [sic] — I reviewed [2] reviewed the above book "L'Unite" myself & differed from him, & he will think I am very hard upon him.

I am very sorry I cannot get you separate copies – Churchills³ positively refused to allow reprints when they published the J^l. for their a/c. & I had to refuse some of my best friends Mr Fairbairn,⁴ &c, and now dare not begin for fear of giving offence to these gentlemen.

Yours truly | James Samuelson⁵ [signature]
