To the Editor of the Nontu-Cursa Dany News, Srr,—Will you spare me a few lines in connection with your recent review of the "Guide to Kuan Hua."
Your reviewer is right in his criticism of the translation of Chan li (Part LI, p. 44), and I surrender at discretion.
As to the mysterious wooden fish" of Part IIT, p. 87, I can only say that Mr Goh himself should be an authority on his own book, No Chinese whom I have consulted knows any meaning of mu vit but that of the wooden instrument used by Buddhist priests.
agree with your reviewer that Nei-li would have been better translated without the word "tin." But I cannot quite fall in with his views as to tsan f2'#, In wen hua, it is true, both words are aspirated, but colloquially, in Pekingese, this phrase is pronounced as printed in the Glossary, owing to the undesirable associations at taching to the first word when aspirate: nand in the Eh' Sheng.
Verbum sap. deed I see the blush mantling on your reviewer's check even at this veiled allusion of Yours truly L. C. Horktys.
26th August.
