From Sir Jonathan Puttenham to the Editor of _The Mustershire Herald and
Oldcaster Advertiser_
DEAR SIR,--I shall be obliged if you will make no more references in
_The Herald_ to the new _Mustershire Archæological Records'_ article on
the Puttenhams. It is not that it lays emphasis on the humble origin of
that family. That is nothing to me. But I am at the moment engaged in a
correspondence with the Editor on the propriety of publishing private or
semi-private records of this character without first asking permission,
and as he will possibly see the advisability of withdrawing the article
in question there should be as little reference to it in the Press as
possible.--I am,
Yours faithfully,
