Buckingham Palace Mansions&lt;br /&gt;<br /> 12th September, 1928.<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> Sir,<br /> <br /> A man must be held responsible for what appears over his signature. If he has made a mistake he apologises publicly and withdraws. Those are two self evident propositions.<br /> <br /> This absurd story (I say &#039;absurd&#039; for how could any one kiss a flesh and blood hand and think it was ectoplasm) was started out of personal malice. It is obviously repeated by personal malice for what possible object could such a repetition have save to hold me up to ridicule and to weaken any authority I may have upon the subject.<br /> <br /> I have sent to &#039;&#039;Light&#039;&#039; the letter which I addressed at the time to the paper which published Hartman&#039;s story. I had no knowledge as to whether they put it in — it is quite common, as you know. to make false assertions against spiritualism and to suppress the corrections. But my hook appearing at about the same time was in itself a correction, and the account in it has, so far as I know, never been questioned. <br /> <br /> Yours faithfully,<br /> <br /> A. Conan Doyle <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> * Source: [http://archives.ulrls.lon.ac.uk/detail.aspx Harry Price Collection]<br /> ----<br /> * [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle:Letters|Back to Conan Doyle&#039;s letters]]<br /> * [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Back to Conan Doyle]]</div>
