To A. R. Wallace Esq.,

Dear Mr Wallace,

I send you herewith a copy of my Christmas Number.1 We limited the Edition to 100,000 copies; otherwise, I think we should have sold well on to double that number. In order to meet the demand that is thus created, I propose to publish a New Year's Number, following up the subject, and in this I shall have to deal with the Spirit Photographs and other matter, but I do not think I shall go into Spiritualism, properly so-called. In any case, I shall hope to quote from your writings, and publish the portrait which you were good enough to send me.

I am, | Yours truly, | W. J. Stead2 [signature]

Ghost forwarded.
