We desire attention to the following communication from Col. Olcott, in reference to his article printed last week.
{{Style P-Signature in capitals|New York, Oct 18, 1875.}}
''To the Editor of the Spiritual Scientist'':
SIR:—I desire to express my regret that in writing to you the MS, of my article, “Occultism and its Critics," which appeared last week, I should have made the mistake of including a page upon which was written the rough draft of the following sentence, “when the great army of perspirational and inspirational speakers, ''with numerous honorable and evident exceptions'', will be crowded off the rostrum and back to the wash-tub and the manure-fork, at which alone they are of practical benefit to society.” This is what I meant to say, and what I wrote in the revised copy which should have been sent you, but in the rough draft the italicized words are omitted. Without this explanation, I would appear as including in one sweeping denunciation many ladies and gentlemen whose talents and devotion I thoroughly respect, and whose feelings I should be very loth to offend.
Yours truly,{{Style P-Signature in capitals|Henry S. Olcott}}
