“I cannot consent to sit down under a charge of plagiarism”

Prominent English philosopher and sociologist (1820–1903). ALS, one page, 4.5 x 7, February 3, 1894. Letter to Mr. Skelton. In part: “They have not sent me the current number of The Monist, but I yesterday saw a table of contents & in it I find no reference to the correction which I wished to have made in Mr. Gilman’s statement. Was there sent or published the correction I suggested? If not, I must send one myself, for I cannot consent to sit down under a charge of plagiarism.” In fine condition, with several horizontal folds, a uniform shade of mild toning, and creasing to top edge.
