Dear Sir

I assent with great pleasure to the request contained in your note¹ of Dec^r 12^th respecting your the reprint of your article² on the Mimicry of animals.

And now the fact that you contributed that article to the Westminster Review induces [2] me to ask whether you will be kind enough to allow the Stereoscopic Company to take a photograph of you as one of the Contributors to the W. R. The company has arranged to photograph any Gentleman who has conributed [sic] to the Review and who is introduced by me.

Yours Truly | John Chapman³ [signature]

per [illeg.]

[3] P.S. Of course you would incur no expense; except that of your time in complying with my request.
