Dear Sir

Many thanks for your letter1 calling my attention to your discussion of the question of denudation in your ''Island Life''.2 I consulted your very suggestive book while writing my address but I will [2] at the earliest opportunity carefully consider the passages to which you refer me. I am now on the way to the West of Ireland.

Yours very truly | Arch Geikie3 [signature]
