WHAT HAPPENED AT VERSAILLES ? SIR,—I am glad the Daily

Telegraph files at least were able to refute Mr. Wigfield's pre- posterous suggestion as to what would be found in them; and I consider that, pending his finding the elusive article, he should make, in your columns, a full apology to Dr. Joan Evans and the publishers of An Adventure. No doubt he will have the opportunity of making his peace with the authors at some future date.

To leave 'some other reader' to 'remember' the article can hardly be regarded as a satis- factory manner in which Mr. Wigfield should seek to retire from the controversy. In his letter printed June 24 he made definite, damag- ing assertions which he has been unable to substantiate in any way. In print he should withdraw them.-=-Yours faithfully,
