Mrs. Frank Leslie, in a letter to THE ENQUIRER, says:
"You have unwittingly, I am sure, done me a great injustice in reprinting an alleged interview with me published in a New York Sunday
paper. It is true that I have leased the business direction of my publishing house; true also that I sell for Europe this month, as I have done every May
for the past 10 years for my summer vacation, but I am not going 'for the purpose of comforting Lady Wilde.' I severed my connection with the family over
two years ago for good and sufficient reasons. My sense of justice prompted me when interviewed recently to speak of Oscar Wilde as I knew him—as son,
husband, father and friend—in other words, to do what we would all wish done for us, i.e., to dwell upon the good and not the evil that is in us. I can
only infer that my generosity must have been misconstrued."

speak of Oscar Wilde as I knew him - as son, husband, father and friend. I expect to return in early September to my editorial duties."
Mrs. Leslie denies emphatically that there was any truth in the interview, and adds:
"I expect to return in early September to my editorial duties, and do not wish meantime to appear ridiculous in the eyes of your
readers."
