    The main result of this paper is that if an abelian group \(G\) contains a \((351,126,45)\)-difference set, then the exponent of \(G\) must be 39. This fills in two missing entries in the table of \textit{A. Vera López} and \textit{M. A. Garcia Sánchez} [J. Comb. Math. Comb. Comput. 23, 97-112 (1997; Zbl 0873.05020)] with a negative answer. Futhermore, it is shown that if a Spence difference set has the character divisibility property, then it is one of the difference sets constructed by \textit{E. Spence} [J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 22, 103-106 (1977; Zbl 0357.05019)].
