In this letter to the chairman of the Dutch Association of Journalists, Kuyper lodges a complaint against what he perceives as a slur in the commentary that had been published, along with his last letter (see 1905.10), in no. 63 of the Mededeelingen van den Nederlandschen Journalistenkring. The commentary suggested that Kuyper had had the official record of his parliamentary speech changed after it was delivered on March 30, 1905 (cf. 1905.06, p. 1528). Kuyper offered to prove, by way of the original stenographic record for the publication of the Handelingen van de Tweede Kamer der Staten-Generaal and by deposition of the high-level civil servant who edited the proceedings, that the Handelingen accurately recorded what he had said.

The letter was published the day after it was sent in De Standaard, 34 (1905), no. 10158, April 28, 1905. At Kuyper’s request, it was also published in the next issue of Mededeelingen van den Nederlandschen Journalistenkring.
