My dear Sir

Very many thanks for your kind note. It would certainly give me much pleasure to have half an hour’s chat with you: but as I am settled here probably for a long time to come pray postpone it till you are in full health & leisure.¹ I feel it a great honour to have my views put forward in a work of yours.² I sent you another little note on human selection.³ It crossed your letter to me. But of course it is too late to use anything now: and you must be very glad that you are going to get a little rest.⁴

I remain | Yours very truly | Winwood Reade
