LADY CHATTERLEY

SIR,—Dr. Lcavis in his article on Lady Chatterley's Lover mentions a letter which the Guardian did not print. He does not explain why, it was not printed, It reached us more than a week after the trial fin- ished and three days after publication of the leading article to which, in part, it referred (it was a leader on the Archbishop of Canterbury's words to the Bishop of Woolwich).

During that time we had carried many letters on the case—more, indeed, than some of our readers could stomach. By the time Dr. Leavis's letter reached us we felt that the correspondence ought to be drawn to a close. We were the more sorry be- cause of Dr. Leavis's claim to write on the subject. Our reasons were explained to him at the time, but he chose not to accept them.—Yours faithfully, A. HETHERINGTON
