Broadstone, Wimborne.

Feby. 12th. 1906

As I think you1 are fond of good writing and logical reasoning I send you a little book that has been a treat to me.

For clear thought, powerful reasoning and fine literary style I know nothing equal to it. And it deals with the greatest and deepest problems, & goes to the root of all them.

Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
