8 WESTERN PARADE,

SOUTHSEA.

9 Sep 1911

Dear Dr Wallace

I venture to send you a copy2 of my book. I think when I had the pleasure of calling upon you some time ago you were good enough to say you would accept a copy.

If you ever have time [2] to read "Glimpses" I should be grateful if you would cut it up and acquaint me of the faults, which I have no doubt are there in profusion, but which I am ignorant of without the opinion of those wiser than myself.

Will you kindly recall [2] me to the recollection of Mrs Wallace,3 and believe me with all respect.

Yours sincerely | W. Usborne Moore4 [signature]
