Dear Professor Haeckel,

My pupil Mr. Ridley is intending to stay some time in Jena this summer, and is anxious to pursue his zoological studies as far as his knowledge of German will permit. He would be very thankful for any advice or encouragement you could give him – but I || suppose would hardly be able to join any but a practical class.

I hope you had a successful expedition to the Levant. The History of Creation will be ready at the end of summer in its English shape. All the rough translation is finished.

Believe me – dear Professor Haeckel

Sincerely yours

E. Ray Lankester
