There are some arguments for you! Poor unreasoning infant!!...

REV. AUGUSTUS JESSOPP TO A.R. WALLACE
_Scarning Rectory, East Dereham. August 25, 1893._
My dear Mr. Wallace,--I have put off writing to thank you for your kind
letter, and the book and pamphlets you were good enough to send me,
because I hoped in acknowledgment to say I had read your little volumes,
as I intend to. The fates have been against me, and I will delay no
longer thanking you for sending them to me.
I do not believe in your theory of land nationalisation one bit! But I
like to see all that such a man as you has to say on his side.
In return I send you my view of the matter, which is just as likely to
convert you as your book is to convert me.
I love a man with a theory, for I learn most from such a man, and when I
have thought a thing out in my own mind and forgotten the arguments
while I have arrived at a firm conviction as to the conclusion, it is
refreshing to be reminded of points and facts that have slipped away
from me!
It was a great pleasure and privilege to make your acquaintance the
other day, and I hope we may meet again some day.--Very truly yours,
AUGUSTUS JESSOPP.
