My dear Sir

It will be of course a great treat for me to have another chat with you;¹ only, as I said before, I have scruples about invading your time when your health allows you to give only a part of it to conversation & there are so many others whom you have known longer & better than myself. However I will keep myself clear for the next week, and if you find that you have a really open day & feel yourself strong please send me a card mentioning the day, & I will be with you at 1 oclock. I can then in the course of two or three minutes give you if you like, what I have picked up about dark-haired men—²

Many thanks for your kind intention of reading my book as soon as it is out—but when I send it I will direct your attention to the parts which relate to Darwinism. The greater part of the book is purely historical.³

I remain | yours very truly | Winwood Reade
