[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—We are advised that

a book issued by ourselves, The Savage Pilgrimage, contains libellous statements concerning Mr. J. Middleton Murry. We exceedingly regret the publica- tion of these statements and tender our unreserved apology. The book has been as far as possible withdrawn.

We shall be glad if you will kindly give this apology the hospitality of your columns.—We are, Sir, &c., CHATTO AND WINDUS.
