From W. W. Reade 14 October [1872]1
13 Alfred Place | Bedford Square | W.C.
Oct. 14
My dear Sir
This is now my address— I applied for the reviewal of your book on Expression at the Pall Mall Gazette. The Editor told me he means to ask Huxley to do it.2 If anything prevents him from reviewing it then I shall have it. I did not know Huxley wrote for the paper— of course he wd. be competent to criticise it & hope he will. All that I cd. do wd. be to make a clear statement of your theory— There was a review in the “Saturday” last Saturday on the Mdm. of Man3—about the first real critique I have had.
Hoping you are in good health | I remain | Yours very truly | Winwood Reade
