In answer to this I received the following letter from Dr. Kuyper written from the Grand Hotel, Paris:
Grand Hotel, 12, Boulevard des Capucines,
April 12th, 1900.
Sir,
My last letter informed you to what extent I could meet your wishes.
Now that, without regard to my reply, you simply ask for the authorisation to print my article in a pamphlet which you propose to publish, I can only refer you to the person who has the power to dispose of the copyright.
KUYPER.
I was under the impression that I had acted in accordance with the reply of Dr. Kuyper, who in his letter, March 28th, wrote: "The copyright of my article belongs to the Editor of the Revue des Deux Mondes, without whose permission I can do nothing. As I shall be in Paris before long I will ask him for it should your polemics seem to me to require a reply."
But since Mr. Kuyper withdrew from the correspondence I wrote the following letter to Mr. Brunetière, Editor of the Revue des Deux Mondes:
April 13th, 1900.
To the Editor,
