Dear Dr. Wallace:

Mr Stead1has kindly advised me to write to you to ask if it might be convenient for me to visit you some day at the last of this month.

I am an American student at Oxford studying Anthropology and I would appreciate so very much to know you and hear your opinions on some features of a subject which I am investigating. This sub- [2] ject is the race problem of the Southern states of America.

Hoping that I may have an early opportunity of meeting you,

I am | most sincerely | G. C. Huckaby2 [signature]
