POINTS FROM LETTERS

A CORRECTION.

In the letter you have been good enough to publish over my name in the current issue of the Spectator you have unfor- tunately given me a wrong Christian name, the right being as hereunder written and not " Miles " as given in the paper. If you can find it convenient to correct this I shall be much obliged.—Gux.s F. GOLDSBROUGII, 42 Welbeck Street, W. 1.

" TOE MANGO TREE "

In the Spectator's review of The Mango Tree it is stated with reference to an important section of the book : " — we feel that a good deal of it is fabricated." The title-page of the book bears the legend, easily overlooked by a busy reviewer " True Notes of a Childhood." Readers of the Spectator would probably like to choose between the impression of your reviewer and my categorical statement on the title- page. Perhaps you will be good enough to give them this opportunity.—MARGARET HAMILTON, 12 Loudoun Road, N.W. 8.
