March 15.1905

The University of Chicago.

Dear Prof. Haeckel,

I have just had the great pleasure to receive from Harper & Brothers a copy of “The Wonder of Life”. For this let me thank you heartily, and allow me to offer my “Banzai”, as the Japanese would say. I rejoice and take great pride in your most welcome work; I need not predict its reception, for that is already foretold in the remarkable circulation of “The Riddle of the Universe”.

I am only one of the great host of your friends who will be profoundly thankfull for this timely volume – this gift to the 20th century.

With best wishes for your health and sincere gratitude for your kind remembrance, I am yours very truly

C. O. Whitman.
