Responding to a previous letter in the Daily Telegraph by a Mrs. Davidson, Bates provides a quote from W.H. Hudson in praise of the wren's song, concluding with the summary that "Hudson, in other words, doesn't quite award the wren a gold, but I feel he might have been happy to give it a silver."

In the Daily Telegraph (August 15, 1971, attached).
