Parkstone, Dorset.

Feby 5th. 1896

J. Scott Keltie2

Dear Sir

I send you a paper on M. Reclus'3 proposed Great Globe — which interested me much, but which I think needs much modification. If you think it of sufficient interest I should like it printed in the "Journal", & you might read portions of it at a Meeting. I shall not be able to read it myself but it may give rise to an [2] interesting discussion.

Believe me | yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
