A PETERBOROUGH PATRIOT [To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR.] SrR,-A
very damaging statement concerning the City of Peterborough appears in last week's issue of The Spectator, under the signature of " Janus," one of your regular con- tributors. He seems to have gone out of his way to concoct a lurid paragraph, purporting to contrast the stately Cathedral with its immediate surroundings. It is quite apparent to anyone who knows Peterborough that the writer of the para- graph has never set foot in the City, or else he would have never penned such rubbish.
I am surprised that a paper with the supposed reputation of The Spectator for being truthful should have let itself down so badly, and an immediate withdrawal of the paragraph is the least your journal can do. When my current subscription expires next February I shall not renew it.-I am, Sir, &e., J. T. S. FLYNN,
Editor.
The Peterborough Citizen, Cumbergale, Peterborough.
[" Janus " writes : " The actual fact is that it was a visit to Peterborough for the purpose of seeing the cathedral which prompted the paragraph in question."-En. The Spectator.]
