Miss Hodson and Mr. Gilbert
To the Editor of The Era
Sir, – I decline to gratify Miss Hodson by any further discussion in the columns of a newspaper. I have referred the question between us to counsel, and I shall be guided entirely by the result. If I am advised that the letters between Mr. Buckstone and Mr. Howe, inserted in last week’s Era, are sufficient to exonerate me from the charge of having acted unfairly towards Miss Hodson, I can well afford to let the matter rest where it is. If, on the other hand, I am advised that it is necessary that I should place the matter before a jury, I shall most certainly adopt that course. In any case, I propose to trouble you with no further correspondence on the subject.
I am, your obedient servant, | ||
W.S. GILBERT. | ||
