Dear Dr. __________

Knowing of your interest in progressive human welfare and in the study of population as its foundation, I take the liberty of sending you a brief outline of basic concepts, proposed for a natural science of society, – one which several qualified persons have spoken of as having some probable value and importance.

If you also find this of interest, I shall be compli­mented to have your comment and any suggestions you may make for giving it wider publicity, and as to the desirability of further and more detailed social analysis from the same general point of view.

Sincerely yours,
