the Wolfenden report in general and homosexuality in particular.

Most people can control their desires whether for wine, women, or other people's property; whether for murder or arson. But not your homosexual. Oh no; he, poor devil, must not only be excused for his peculiarities, but actually mollycoddled! What abont the kleptomaniac, the dipsomaniac and the hebe- phrenic? Why not protect them by some ridieulotis law, and so permit them to carry on with their anti- social behaviour?

If a thing is unnatural it cannot be made natural either by law or the championship of the Spectator, which organ is so very vociferous on behalf of the perverted persons. It strikes me that you, sir, and your attendant scribes are in need of psythiatric treatment. —Yours faithfully,
