Dear Mr. Hinks1

"The Balloting List" is enclosed, with entire agreement of names proposed for election by the Council.

Re The Geographical Journal, it is always looked for & enjoyed — but one felt in the notice in April number or Dr. A. R. Wallace, the criticism of his attitude towards Vivisection was really impertinent. To say the least the subject of [2] Vivisection is ultra vires in a Geographical magazine.

With esteem, | Believe me, | yours faithfully | S. John Thorpe2 [signature]
