Sir-In looking over my mall, I find an article regarding Segovia which was published in a Hongkong paper under date of September 9th and which bears the title "Andres Segovia Who Deserved Better Of Hongkong."
The writer of this article as cribes the failure of Segovia in Hongkong to a lack of advertising, and, naturally, places the blame for this on me.

Although no better than he ought to have been, he was Lone the less a. downright, manly fellow, full of military virtues, and magnificently free from gulle. According to Shakespeare's: "King John, Falconbridge was the illegiti. mate son of Richard Coeur-de- Lion, and rejoiced in the heroic strain in his blood; which was to serve him in good stead in the years against the French..
Nothing if not blunt, Fal- conbridge detested the ex- pediency of his liege the King, but he had the Englishman's capaelty for loyalty developed to the ninth degree, and he stood by John through thick and thin, pouring fine scorn on the rebel barons, and dealing with "every situation with eplendid:
resolution and courage.
Falconbridge typifies the Heaven-sent lieutenants of the world. Without a cause, such a man is of little account, but given a cause he would storm a citadel single-handed to ed. vance its interests.
A patriot of heroic quality, it' was Falconbridge who utters these most famous lines which bring the curtain down on Shakespeare's masterly play
