In the recent paper by Zhang the order $\alpha^4 R_{\infty}$ corrections to the positronium P levels were reconsidered. Those calculations confirm our corresponding results, except for the contribution due to the squared spin-orbit interaction. We present here a new derivation of our previous result for this last correction, this derivation being to our opinion both simple and convincing.
