CORRESPONDENCE.
*»* We are desirous of affording every reasonable facility for the discussion of public subjects; but it must be understood that we are in no way responsible for the opinions expressed by correspondents. To THK EDITOU OF THE NELSON EVENING MAIL. Sir — In the course of your criticism of my public character you say — "that you entertain a great respect for me as being an energetic and useful member of the community." Well, Sir, I would thank you if I thought you sincere, for naming the qualities that of all others a Superintendent should possess. 1 think your concluding remarks (intended to be adverse) will carry very little weight as coming from one who is able in the same paragraph to confess great respect, and immediately to charge with duplicity, or something worse, ia promising without the intention of fulfilling. You are very near the mark when you attribute the presence of part of a particular sentence ia my, address to the slip of the pen, the fact is the words will undertake to was intended to hare been struck out. I am, Sir, Your fellow-citizen, William Akersten.
