My dear Sir:

I was invited recently by the editor¹ of Nature to prepare a notice of your life for their series of "Scientific Worthies."² I felt as I proceeded with the account that there are certain portions of your work with which I am not sufficiently familiar to really do

you justice. I however prepared the paper with a great deal of care, and I trust that it will on the whole be gratifying to you.

I have recently read with great pleasure your reply³ to the memorial address to you on your birthday by the students of Colorado College.

Will you not be kind enough to aid me by sending me a copy of the list of your writings? So far as I can find there is no bibliography.

With best wishes for your continued health and happiness, believe me,

Always faithfully yours, | Henry Fairfield Osborn⁴ [signature] President.

Alfred Russell [sic] Wallace, Esq.
