Alfred R Wallace Esq

My dear Sir

I send you a copy of my new novel,2 which cannot be published in England on account of the police. I may come over & fight for it. It depends on what backing I should have from thinking Englishmen. Will you read the book & see if you care to write me a letter.

Sincerely | Upton Sinclair3 [signature]
