Broadstone, Wimborne

Jan[uar]y 15th. 1904

Fisher Unwin Esq1

Dear Sir

Thanks for your letter & suggestion. For some years past I have been urged by my son & daughter to write some form of an Autobiography, and recently I have been asked to do so by publishers, & I may write it in the course of the next year or two should nothing intervene to prevent [2] my doing so. But if I do compete such a book I have already arranged with Mr. Curtis Brown2, through whose agency my last book was published in England, America, & Germany, to act as my Agent in arranging for its publication. In that case I will place your letter before him.

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