Parkstone, Dorset.

June 10th 1895.

Dr. A. Ploetz

Dear Sir

Unfortunately I cannot read German & am therefore quite unable to say how much of your book1 is in accordance with my views. Under the circumstances it would not be proper for me to accept the dedication of the book to myself. Should an English translation be [2] published, & the proofs sent me it would be a different matter.

Believe me | Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
