Mr. Wallace —

Dear Sir:

I return the pages you speak of

Your first sentence, beginning "our river[?] system" appears to me to need a more specific statement of the river. I suppose you mean the James river, and if that is right will so make it. Foreigners would not understand it without a mention of the name of the river. —

Thanking you again for your paper

Yours truly | James D. Dana [signature]
