Feb— 20. — 72
My dear Sir
I saw the Editor of the P. M. Gazette to day—1 he had seen two of my sheets—the biography of Jesus—& prophesies a hot time for me as you do.2 He tells me that he will send your new edition with Mivart’s to the same man who reviewed your Descent.3 I have read chapter 7 again—4 It seems to me very conclusive— Yours very truly | Winwood Reade
