THE PERSIAN FAMINE.
[TO THIll Enrroa OF run sintenaroa.1 Sirt,—In your issue of the 11th inst., on page 13,54, our names are introduced in connection with the Persian Famine, and the pare- graph concludes with the remark that " he trusts good pcople at. home will send him £200 to enable hint to purchase the freehold of his house." 'rids reads] as if it were our correspondent that wanted the £200, and we need hardly say that in this sense the- paragraph is objectionable. Will you kindly oblige us by explain- ing in your next that this desiredoes not refer to our correspondent, although it May do to the missionary?—We are, Sir, &c., GRAY, DAWES, AND Co.
[" The missionary" was the only noun substantive to which thee personal pronoun "he" could refer, and we cannot conceive that, any ordinary reader could have mieunderstood our ineeuing,— ED. Spectator.]
