PROFESSOR OF GENERAL ANATOMY

JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLLEGE

PHILADELPHIA,

Nov 20th 1910

Professor A. R. Wallace

Broadstone, Wimborne, Eng.

My dear Prof. Wallace:

I enclose an article published in today's New York World.

I cannot give credence to the claim made or implied that this article was penned by you. As an ardent student of biology I am curious to see what you many say regarding this American (?) journalistic feat.

Very sincerely yours | Edw. Anthony Spitzka2 [signature]
