"THE SAVAGE PILGRIMAGE"
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—Mr. Douglas Goldring has pointed out to us that the account of the People's Theatre Society and the plays for a "People's Theatre" series given on pages 127-128 of The Savage Pilgrimage, by Catherine Carswell, recently published by ourselves, is capable of a construction reflecting on his good faith. Mrs. Carswell assures us that no such reflection was intended, and that she set down the facts in so far as they were within her knowledge to explain in its natural order in her narrative an incident in D. H. Lawrence's literary history. But in view of Mr. Goldring's objections and additional facts communicated by him from which it would appear that Lawrence's annoyance was due to a misunderstanding of the situation, Mrs. Carswell has re-written the passage, and expresses her deep regret (with which we, as publishers, associate ourselves) that there should have been even the appearance of a suggestion that Mr. Goldring did not act in perfect good faith.—We are, Sir, &c., CHATTO AND WINDUS.
Publishers, 97 and 99 St. Martin's Lane, W.C. 2.
