_Mrs. Stirring to the Editor of “The Eastbury Herald.”_
SIR,--Whatever the cause of the slander, whether malice or
misadventure, the fact remains that you have done a very cruel thing.
I enclose a cutting from the London Press, sent me by a friend, which
will show you that the calumny is becoming widely spread. Mr. Stirring
is so weak and dispirited that we fear he may have got some inkling of
it. Your position if he discovers the worst will be terrible.
I am, Yours faithfully,
AUGUSTA STIRRING.
