Mr. Wilson Harris

SIR,—I hope you will grant me- space, to express my warmest- _thanks to all the readers of the Spectator who have written to me in sympathetic and far too appreciative terms regarding my severance from 99 Gower Street. I had hoped-to acknowledge all the letters personally, but now that they have run into hundreds I am afraid that it will be impossible to do that. But l can at least say with truth that I am as deeply grateful to those to whom I have not been able to write as to any others.—Yours faithfully, WILSON HARRIS. 13 Park Village West, Albany Street, N.W.1.
