My dear Sir,

I have felt in reading your second article in "The Ice Age and its Work" a "fascination" no less than that which you confess that subject itself has for you.

This "fascination", the child of your own creation, must be my excuse for venturing to send you ^the enclosed remarks.

Your argument appears to me to be absolutely conclusive and I, for one, am glad to have this vexed question solved for me at [2] last. And If I venture to criticize the way in which the future "Glacial Erosion" is used in y^r article, it is in the hope of seeing your exposition strengthened and the enemy silenced.

Numberless points of interest arise in reading y^r essays which an amateur of myself would hail it a privilege to hear you enlarge upon; but I feel I already owe you more thanks than I can pay for both articles, and, if I may venture to add, the dignity with which you [3] recently withdrew from a useless controversy in "Nature", giving another example of how good it is the leave alone all advocates for a foregone conclusion.

I am dear Sir | Your faithful admirer | Daniel Pidgeon [signature]
