Dear Dr Wallace

It is very kind of you to have your remarkable work sent to me. I value it greatly and hope to study it attentively.

It is unique from the breadth of knowledge brought to bear upon a subject of peculiar interest. No great biologist [2] has ever before seriously considered the possibilities of cosmic life; and they can only be [illeg.] discussed in the light of expert biological science.

With very sincere thanks | yours truly | Agnes M. Clerke1 [signature]
