But I do not think that you need fear misconstruction. We know Mr. Goldwin Smith as a man of great ability and cultivation, but he is not taken as a representative of the bulk of Canadian opinion.
Believe me,

With this letter came my manuscript returned to me by same mail. I replied as follows:
Heydon Villa, Toronto,
23rd March, 1895.
Dear Sir,
Many thanks for sending me word so promptly about my article and for returning the manuscript which has safely arrived.
I am glad to find that you do not take Goldwin Smith as a representative of the bulk of Canadian opinion, and can only express the regret of Canadians generally that his distorted and incorrect views about our country are so widely circulated in England. This is the more unfortunate when the bulk of Canadian opinion is refused a hearing.
Yours, etc.
