NORTHERN NEWSPAPER SYNDICATE

KENDAL, ENGLAND

19th March, 1904.

Alfred Russel Wallace, Esqre.

Dear Sir,

Will you kindly say if you can supply us with a short article for general readers (about 2,000 words) on some fascinating nature subject which would come under the general title of "Stories from Nature." Sir Robert Ball2 and other gentlemen have already kindly consented to contribute.

If you accept to our request will you kindly suggest a title in order that we may avoid overlapping?

Faithfully yours, | p.p. Northern Newspaper Syndicate | M. T. R. [signature]

P.S. A portion of a lecture, or handbook, or revised for our use, would admirably answer the purpose.

1
The letter is type-written except for the initials “M. T. R.”
2

Ball, Robert Stawell (1840-1913). Irish Astronomer.

If you put words in quotes, they must follow as-is. In this case, all in caps.
