Since we published our two articles on " Is the

Spectator ' Bitterly Hostile ' to America ? " we have received yet another communication. Mr. Bishop, the friend and biographer of Theodore Roosevelt, who knows with exactitude what the most representative of American statesmen felt, writes :—

DEAR MR. STRACHEY,—You had during his lifetime, as his personal letters to the Editor of the Spectator showed, the confidence and esteem of that foremost of all Americans of his time, Theodore Roosevelt, and surely you can rest upon that, for no one ever more completely represented the sentiment of the American people than he did.

JOSEPH RUCIELTN BISHOP.
