Abstract:	Grant Allen (1848-1899) was a Canadian-born science writer and novelist. After completing the BA degree at Oxford University in 1871, he taught briefly in England and Jamaica. Upon returning to England in 1876, Allen dedicated himself to writing full time. After publishing several scientific articles and pieces of short fiction, he began writing novels. In 1891 he earned 1,000 pounds from Tit-Bits magazine for his novel What's Bred in the Bone. Due to poor health, Allen often wintered in the French Riviera. This letter written January 2, [1892 or later] from the Hotel du Cap, Antibes is a response to an individual who sought financial and professional support from Allen.
