Dundee Advertiser (Om, 1st October 1933. Sot — I have been

directed by the Editor to call your attention to the irre- gular arrival of the copy of the Spectator addressed to this office. The Number of the 14th ultimo did not arrive at all; and the our of the 28th, due this morn- ing, has not come either. On several former occasions, the paper was either two days behind or did not come at all; and at one time, three successive Num- bers were wanting. On these occasions, the other copies of the paper which came to Dundee were duly received. The copy sent to us does not, I believe, come from a Newsman, but is sent directly from the office ; and I have there- fore been ordered to request that, if you can do any thing to remove the griev- ance complained of, you will have the kindness to do so. The irregular arrival of a paper of so much importance to us as the Spectator, is attended with very

serious inconvenience. I am, Sir, &c. &c.

[The copy of the Spectator which the Editor of the Dundee Advertiser ought to receive is not sent from the office ; and we have not been able to learn the name of the Newsman who forwards it. We therefore insert the letter, in the hope that the Newsman may see it, and if the fault rests with him, correct it in future. For the reasons, however, which we gave last week, we are persuaded that the Newsman is not, and that the Post-office people are to blame, in this as in other instances.]
