Jany 15th. 1904

Fisher Unwin1 Esq

Dear Sir

Thanks for your letter2 & suggestion. For some years past I have been urged by my son3 & daughter4 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 complete such a book I have already arranged with Mr. Curtis Brown,5 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]
