From Lawson Tait 24 June [1875]1
7, Great Charles St. | Birmingham.
June 24
My Dear Sir,
In case you should like to see it there is an adverse article in last Saturday’s Spectator in which my paper is made, very absurdly, to be the peg on which to hang an attack on Natural Selection2
I reply in next Saturday’s.3
Mr. Norman Lockyer has written to me for my paper for Nature.4
Yours faithfully, | Lawson Tait
