Dear Elizabeth,
You will know that SOUNDINGS was temporarily withdrawn from sale last year under threat of legal action in respect of the Dorothy Hewett poem, 'Memories of a Protestant Girlhood'.
The person threatening legal action requested the removal from the poem of what he deemed offensive passages. Dorothy, after considering his suggestion for some time, has found that she cannot agree to this request.
Consequently, the Press has regretfully now permanently withdrawn from sale the remaining copies of SOUNDINGS. Booksellers and educational organizations have been advised of this action.

Yours sincerely

Ian Templeman
Chief Executive
