Dear Dr. Russell [sic] Wallace,

I have just read with great interest your article in "Everyman".¹ It has been a very great pleasure to me to read it, and if I may so far venture I should like to congratulate you upon it. I doubt if ever in your long life written a couple of pages in which style and matter were more vigorous and convincing.

I want to send you a paper of my own, which it is just possible you have already seen. I wish I had had my chance of speaking after Schafer² instead of before, but you will at least see how my point of view, like your own, differs from his.

Believe me. l Yours very faithfully l D’arcy W. Thompson³ [stamped signature]
