To the Editor of "The Pall Mall Gazette."
Sir: I am writing a series of private letters on matters of political economy to a working man in Newcastle, without objecting to his printing them, but writing just as I should if they were for his eye only. I necessarily take copies of them for reference, and the one I sent him last Monday seems to me not unlikely to interest some of your readers who care about modern drama. So I send you the copy of it to use if you like.[168]
Truly yours,
J. Ruskin.
Denmark Hill, Feb. 28, 1867.
[168] The enclosed letter is "Letter V." of "Time and Tide."
