TX Sharon reports that the Star-Telegram will run her actual letter in Saturday's edition.

Dear Ms. Wilson,

 We apologize for the version of the letter that was published last Tuesday and certainly understand your concerns.

 I have just added your original letter to Saturday's letters to the editor. I did add the August date of Mr. Saxe's letter to conform with style but that was the only change beyond checking for spelling and punctuation. It may be helpful to know that the Saturday readership is far higher than Tuesday's.

 We hope this corrects an unfortunate situation.

 Best regards,

 David House
