From Henri Apatowsky 11 January 1872

11 January 1872
Sir,
In 1870 I wrote (in Paris) a memoir on the question: “Is the human species a genus sui generis?”. I sided with Mr. Vogt in supporting your Doctrine, and was even bolder. Unfortunately, I nished that work at the moment when war broke out between France and Germany, during which time no-one was concerned with Science any more. I myself was chief physician of an ambulance. Then the civil war arose, and although I had cared for their sick and injured, the barbarians; for atrocities unrivalled in modern history were committed on both sides, while I was caring for their sick and injured, as I say, the barbarians destroyed everything I owned. I soon quitted France. Sadly, I am not familiar with the English language in order to translate my work, written in French. I dare to ask you Sir, if possible, to recommend my work to someone who can translate and publish it. I shall ask nothing for the time being, and shall appeal to the probity of whoever concerns himself with it. If, Sir, you wish to consult my manuscript, please write to me and I shall hasten to place it at your disposal.
I have the honour of being, Sir | your most respectful servant | Dr. Apatowsky

Our colleague Longet, who has died since the first battles, has been replaced by Mr Lacaze du Thiers, who without hesitating has pronounced for you.The majority of the section is thus very much decided in your favour. It has charged me with making the Report.
