With regard to my supposed “mistake,” I now learn for the first time that the words a person ‘‘actually used,” and the words “reported” in a newspaper are necessarily identical. My belief was, that very rarely are the actual words reported, especially by an interviewer who writes a sensational article. One of Fletcher’s most intimate friends gave me his own private version of the words he used, but the reporter had given the sense so nearly that it was quite unnecessary to make any correction. I have received further communications from prominent Spiritualists agreeing with me that what is “incredible” to Mr. Massey is perfectly credible to them. | With regard to my supposed “mistake,” I now learn for the first time that the words a person ‘‘actually used,” and the words “reported” in a newspaper are necessarily identical.

Sir, | Sir,—Without any desire to widen the “Fletcher-Slade controversy,” I feel called on to answer Mr. Massey’s query in your last number, “Whose fault is it that there has been no decision by an impartial and competent tribunal?” {{Style S-HPB SB. HPB note|F.T.S.}} | ||
When Mr. Massey challenged Mr. Fletcher to resort to a legal remedy, the latter asked my advice, and I recommended net to put the law in motion. | When Mr. Massey challenged Mr. Fletcher to resort to a legal remedy, the latter asked my advice, and I recommended net to put the law in motion. | ||
