SIR,—I seem to supply your contributor, Sir William Beach Thomas,

with a good deal of copy for his column, and I have never thought it worth while to correct the inaccuracies in the opinions which he is so apt to attribute to me. But his assertion in your issue of January 31st that I "quite forget or despise the way of life" of the countryman is so wide of the truth that I must ask,him either to substantiate it or to withdraw it.—Yours truly, C. S. ORWIN. The Malt House, Blewbury, Didcot, Berks.
