Dear Mr Wallace,
I am exceedingly sorry that you should think I have done you an injustice in terms of my reference to your article.1
On looking over it, I see it would have been better if I had said that you reviewed the articles on the subject of the Improvement of the Race, in the summaries of which appeared in the recent numbers of the REVIEW.2 I see it may be read to imply as it stands that you had only read the Summaries, which it was not my intention to convey. You will see that the alteration of the position of the two words will make all the difference. If you like I will be happy to explain this in the next number, but, probably, few readers would notice the difference between the corrected version and that to which you take exception.
I am, | Yours very truly, W. T. Stead3 [signature]
