Dear Sir
I send you a little book called "Darwin & the Humanities"1,2 in which I endeavor to trace the influences of the thinking of Natural Selection on the mental & social sciences and in Philosophy. It is an account, in [illeg.] form, of what the psychologists have been doing to establish & extend the Darwinian Theory in their own field. It may be interesting to you to see in what a vital way — in the opinion of many of us — our material is being prostituted in the light of your & Darwin's3 Paw.
I hope you will forgive my presumption in dedicating the booklet to you! The appropriateness of this is concurred in by all those — both biologists & psychologists alike — those whom I have consulted. The word in my Preface on the subject of your relation to Darwinism is the least that I felt content to say.
As to my personal identity — an American psychologist known to workers in my subject in England!
Believe me my dear Mr Wallace with New Year's greetings,
yours sincerely | J. Mark Baldwin4 [signature]
