SIR,--How like you to read an inaccurate report of my speech! The
words I used--you will find them reported in _The Wastepaper
Gazette_ for that week--were as follows: "We must then take these
statements of Mr. Thomson-Thomson to be nothing but the blustering
artifice of _a_ rhetorical hireling." You will, I am sure,
appreciate the difference between the two versions. If you do not,
I may add that I am prepared to endorse the opinion expressed in
the accurate version and to raise the question in the House of
Commons at an early opportunity.
I am sending a copy, of this letter to the Press, as your reply
will doubtless be irrelevant.
Yours faithfully,
A. B. C. WENTWORTH-COKE.
