Ainsworth writes to Doveton on 16 April 1875 chiding him on writing on both sides of the paper and misaddressing his poetry submission to the New monthly magazine which he edited, and comments that the poem's religious subject is a difficult one to deal with. In his 21 April 1875 letter he thanks Doveton for sending poems and will send proofs next month, and provides lengthy commentary on science vs. religion, "humbug of modern spiritualism," and on critics who expected to be paid who ignore his magazine.
William Francis Ainsworth (1807-1896) was an English surgeon, traveller, geographer and geologist, known also as a writer and editor.

In 1834 he published An Account of the Caves of Ballybunian, County of Kerry: With Some Mineralogical Details, in Dublin, Ireland.
