[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR.")

find that a letter which appeared in your last number, signed "Helen T.," has been mistaken by many of my friends for mine, and this is not the first time that such signatures "H. T." of "H. Taylor" have been appended to letters not written by me, on subjects on which my friends know that I occasionally write. As I desire neither to obtain the credit nor to bear the respon- sibility of what is written by others, may I beg you kindly to allow me to say, in your columns, that nothing signed either "H. T.," or "Helen T.," or "H. Taylor," or "Helen Taylor" will be written by me unless it is dated from "Blackheath Park."

—I am, Sir, &c., HELEN TAYLOR. Blackheath Park, August 3, 1869.
