My Dear Sir,

Shortly after the receipt of your letter2 I had intelligence pointing to the identity of "de Rougemont" with the man Grien. In your letter you suggest that the circulation of his photograph must lead to his identification, and this, as far as we can gather, is about to take place. We should of course be happy to publish your letter if you still desire it; but I think it right to communicate with you first as to whether this your wish.

Yours faithfully | H. W. Massingham3 [signature] Editor

Alfred Russell [sic] Wallace, Esqr.
