BLACKBURN. [Lancashire]

January 10th 1913

Dear Dr. Wallace

I have read with much interest and profit the account of the interview which you kindly granted to the Daily News1 representative. [2]

May I please in sincere respect and appreciation ask if you conclude that the "Poor are becoming Poorer" [.]

I promise nothing but honourable use of your any answer you may honour me with.

[3] (2)

Your position in the interview was to day debated by about twenty men who meet privately for discussion.

Your position was quoted against Lord Emmott’s2 position that the "Poor are not becoming Poorer"[.]

Yours in all sincerity | Milton Hindle3 [signature]
