Summary:
Object of CK's modified English alphabet is different from object intended by conference recently held at C. K. J. Bunsen's. Those of A. J. Ellis and Isaac Pitman have appeared in print and are favorably accepted; doubts that CK's characters would supplant them. See Bunsen regarding CK's universal alphabet.
