To MR. E. SMEDLEY
Old Orchard, Broadstone, Dorset. October 2, 1911.
Dear Mr. Smedley, — I am quite astonished at your wasting your money on an advertising astrologer. In the horoscope sent you there is not a single definite fact that would apply to you any more than to thousands of other men. All is vague, what "might be," etc. etc. It is just calculated to lead you on to send more money, and get in reply more words and nothing else… — Yours very truly, Alfred R. Wallace.
