THE EAST KENT HUNT
[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR] Sur,—I have just seen in the Country Life page of The Spectator of March 24th a paragraph referring to the East Kent Hunt.
There is no need for me to ask for space in your columns to go into the matter in detail, because I made a very full and frank statement about it last Saturday at a general meeting of the East Kent Hunt, which was open to the public, and I asked the Press reporter in the room to make sure that my words were published in full in the papers which he repre- sents. But I will say just this : of the account in the country papers which your Mr. Bates finds so interesting, part was entirely untrue, the other part was exaggerated and misleading, and the. whole was presented in the worst possible light.
Neither the country papers nor Mr. Bates took the trouble to find out whether their information was accurate or not, although they had ample time in which to make inquiries.— Yours faithfully, J. W. BAKER WHITE
