Jan. 9. 1913.

Dear Sir,

I had no idea of writing the enclosed appreciation when I called upon you.1 But the editor2 of "T. P’s Weekly" learning I had seen you recently asked me to write an article, & feeling entirely sympathetic to your work I felt I could do so without refering [sic] this [2] matter to you. I am at present engaged on the short article for America.

I sincerely hope that some competent authority will now devote himself to a study your life work as a whole.

Yours faithy [faithfully] | Wilkinson Sherren3 [signature]

Dr Alfred Russel Wallace O.M
