Alfred Russell Wallace Esq.

Dear Sir,

I have much pleasure in sending for your kind acceptance a copy of the Food-Reformer's Year Book, which I have, this year, been called upon to edit. The ideas therein exposed may not entirely command themselves to you, but I trust I may be permitted to hope that the broad, underlying features of the Food-Reform movement, may have your sympathy and approval. The age is so swiftly hastening on the broad road of luxury and sufficiency, that I am sure any movement which attempts to arrest disintegrating tendencies, and exalt simpler, saner ways, and ideals, will find an echo in your heart.

Of your services to and great interest in, the Anti-Vaccination question, I am well aware, and, as a young man who has entered into some of the fruits of your arduous activities, I offer you a respectful and grateful homage. It may interest you to know that the little girl on the post card is my own, and sister to the one in y[ou]r Book.

With sincerest Compliments | I am, dear Sir, vey truly | H. B. Amos[signature].
