SIR,—What a pity Watchman in 'Spectator's Note- book' should have

spoilt his plea for tolerance for ininority movements (Scotch and Welsh National- ists) with supercilious asininitie,s; 'Dotty, as, I fear, their ultimate purposes irremediably are,' and 'their eccentric say.' This is not worthy of the Spectator, and Quoodle would not stoop to it.
