IN DEFENCE OF TORQUAY Sitt,—In your issue of The Spectator

for August 22nd there is a letter In Defence of Torquay in which it is stated that I gave and endowed Torbay Hospital. This is a mistake ; it was the gift of my late sister, Mrs. Rowcroft. Do you think you could kindly state this, as it may lead to misunderstanding.—Yours truly, VIOLET WILLS. Bel Alp, Haytor, Near Newton Abbot.
