Dear "Smad,"

When the 'Varsity's pure-minded innocents (so far only two have been observed) conduct an entirely private correspondence in the presence of some of the chivalry of Weir House, it seems a somewhat painful reflection upon the latter that such correspondence, when left trustfully, if advertently, in the Library, to their tender mercies, should be seized upon and made the common property of the denizens of the dens of dissipating in that hostel. Sir, such behaviour is unworthy of the noble reputation for pious uprightness of spirit and well-nigh sanctimonious integrity possessed by that institution. I trust that the God-fearing respectability of its inmates will be so outraged that public meetings for repentant meditation will be held by all those responsible.

Surely the rumour is unauthorised that reference is to be made to the contents of this purely flippant and private epistle in your journal? If there is any suggestion of foundation for such a tale, Sir, I warn you that I shall henceforth cease to take a copy of your paper—lent me each week by a friend.

Injured If Not So Innocent.
