Dear Dr Wallace,

As you are writing about Lowell's1 canal theory, perhaps you will permit me to remind you of a very lucid and able discussion of the subject by Miss Agnes Clerke2 [2] which appeared in the Edinburgh Review for October 1896. The title of the article being "New views about Mars".

I remain | Yours sincerely | William Huggins [signature]3
