Lisping in Numbers

Sir: May I submit a point of correction to the recent discussion in your columns concerning the periodical Numbers? I take it that your reference in an editorial note to a letter that ‘one story by another contributor had already been published elsewhere,’ was a reference to my short allegory ‘Apple Mash’. This story had been published some time ago in a cyclostyled and necessarily ephemeral production of very limited circulation, the ‘newspaper’ of Wellington Teachers’ Training College. Your note may give readers the impression of a more permanent kind of first publication.
