St Helens Cottage

St Helens

Isle of Wight.

Apr[il]. 3. 1913.

I have just received a letter from Meldola3 telling me of a wonderful American anticipation of natural selection & other important discoveries. Have you another copy to spare? I should very much like to read it. It would be very appropriate if you would write an article for Bedrock4 on it, to appear in the July number. I can easily arrange this if you can manage it.

Kindest regards | E. B. Poulton [signature]
