DELHI FUGITIVES.
[TO TIIE EDITOR OE TER "SPECTATOR."] Sra,—In reply to the letter of "E. H." in the Spectator of April 15th, will you allow me to say that I never meant to imply that my aunt had remained behind at Delhi. It was during the flight of the fugitives that one lady was compelled by illness to halt at a dlidk bungalow or posthouse in the jungle, and my aunt remained with her, of course at very great risk to her- self. I am sorry not to have expressed myself more clearly, but it seems to me that I did make it plain I was not speaking of myself, or of my own encounter with a Sepoy ! I could easily ascertain the actual date of the occurrence if it were necessary. Some of those who are concerned in the story are living, but, of course, I have no right to publish their names without their consent. A little more about my aunt is told in the Mothers' Union Journal for April, 1899, if "B. H." cares
