Dear Mr Wiggin,

By mankind, I mean a kind of man, I wish I had so defined my meaning.

I am right in the quotation "after the image and likeness of mind created he him" – but I cannot remember what the language was whence I took the translation but this I know I had it from good authority. Do what you please with it. I think it was a large Dictionary but not Webster's that gave the definition (in another language) of man as mind and repeated the above sentence as changed from our translation

In haste Very truly
