My dear Professor Haeckel,

I have just completed a book (1st volume of 2) which I am calling „The World’s desires“, or the „Results of Realism“. My Realism is nothing whatever but „applied Monism“ & the aim of the book is to direct thought into a practical scheme of lifes || uniformly consistent with the Ethical basis „Wisdom“. That is of course practically a „religion of Science“.

I should like, by your permission to dedicate this work to you, mainly because it is from your writings that my mind has received the best generalisations & terms classified. Have I your permission to do so?

I notice in the papers that you have been || „militant“ again in Berlin. I trust your health is good & remain Respectfully your

Edgar A. Ashcroft.

Prof. E. Haeckel Jena.
