Sir,

Allow me to thank you very heartily for your kind permission. Of course it will be with great pleasure that I shall translate "Human Selection" from the Fortnightly Review also. Both Editors have already given their consent. The German naturalists do not like to speak about such matters to the great public, and thus we have to apply to3 [2] British men of science.

I think both articles will do a great deal of good in Germany and give a final diversions to those discussions of the "evolution ethics" which are going on at the present.

Very many thanks also for the addition to the Arena article.

Should you ever have the wish to publish a special essay in Germany may I ask you to tell me that then? It will give me great pleasure to find the most suitable place for it and to give it its German shape.

Yours very thankfully | Alexander Tille [signature]
