Dr. Alfred Russell [sic] Wallace

London, England

My dear Dr. Wallace:

A copy of the London and Manchester Daily News-Leader has been sent to me containing an account of an interview2 with you on some of the social questions of the day. I want to tell you how thoroughly some of us in America have enjoyed the article which appeared in the Westminster Review sometime ago on the "Cry of our Brother".2 You have very ably expressed the idea which lies at the bottom of the recreation movement in America. We are trying to help bring about conditions such that all the people of America will really have a chance to live.

Sincerely yours, | H. S. Braucher3 [signature] | Secretary
