Broadstone, Wimborne.

March 21st. 1905

Messrs. Macmillan & Co1

Dear Sirs

I not only agree to Professor's Carver's2 request,3 but I am greatly pleased that he should reprint4 that Chapter, since it contains views which I believe to be perhaps more important for the well-being of humanity than any I have discussed, and to be of especial value at the present times.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
