Dear Mr. Wallace

I am sending herewith separate copies of two recent papers of mine, thinking that you may perhaps like to have them — The "Pierine" paper is the result of considerablelabor, extending over some years.

I hope I may say, without [2] impertinence, that I have derived the greatest pleasure and help from your writings.I have found them stimulating and inspiriting[?] to the highest degree.In my work on the Pierines, especially, I have felt what I owed to your initiative and example, and I have all along hoped that much of it the paper, at any rate[?] [3] might meet with your approval.

Believe me | Very sincerely yours | F. A. Dixey [signature]
