Dear Sir:
I am preparing a volume of freshman readings in botany as a contribution to the general education movement in this country and I would very much like to use a portion of the writings of the late Alfred Russel Wallace. I am asking your kind permission to reprint a dozen pages or so from "Natural Selection and Tropical Nature"4 published in 1895, to give students an idea of the quality of his thinking.
Your kindness and cooperation would be greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours, | Irving W. Knobloch5 [signature]
