Broadstone, Wimborne.

Octr 31st. 1905

Thanks for your card. I intended at first to give a longer account of Owen's work, but was afraid it would be out of place. It is astonishing how many people have never heard of him; and very few indeed have read his own "Life" with its Supplementary Vol. of confirmatory Reports, Documents &c. I have been trying ever since I read it two years ago to get a copy but it is very rare. I wish the Fabians would reprint it, & I think Chapman & Hall would not object.

Yours truly, | A.R.Wallace [signature]
