Mr. Alfred R. Wallace Parkstone (Dorset)

Dear Sir,

In your interesting and valuable letter (March 3. 98) written in answer to the Programme of our Revue de Morale Sociale", you made as attentive to the importance of the economic conditions underlying the whole problem of sex. As you will observe in examining the first copy of our Review, issued last month, we don't leave out that side of the question; we quite agree with you that economic independence[sic] would partly (not wholly) settle the sexual question with regard to prostitution under its different forms.

Now, the Revue de Morale sociale being open to free discussion on the questions included in our Programme, the responsibility of each article resting entirely with the author himself, would you feel inclined to send us for our next issue (June) a paper on the very subject you submit to our notices the connection between the sexual problem and the social problem, — or on one of the aspects of it, as you would prefer?

We know we are asking much, especially at such short notice; but at the same time we trust the vital importance of the question may induce you to grant us to your valuable collaboration.

May we also beg for a possibly prompt answer?

Believe me, Sir, yours very respectfully | Camille Vidart, secrétaire de la Rédaction [signature]
