Summary
Complaining that a pamphlet by Sir Sidney Lee, entitled "The alleged vandalism at Stratford-on-Avon", and published by Archibald Constable & Co., and refuted in her own pamphlet on the same subject, entitled "Plain truth of the Stratfors-on-Avon controvery", contains "gross misrepresentations" of her conduct [relating to the controversy surrounding the construction of a public library at Stratford] and protesting the sale of the pamphlet at the library in Stratford, where she resides ("It looks so invidious! - your name on a pamphlet running me down, and I among your authors for the year!").
