THE ANGLO-AMERICAN SOCIETY.

[To THE EDITOR or THE " SPEcrnoa."] Sia,—The inauguration of the Lincoln statue at Westminster on July 28th was, by general consent, one of the most memorable days in the history of Anglo-American relations. This society, through whom the gift was made, and which was responsible for all the arrangements, is seeking to raise a sum of 41,000 to discharge various obligations connected with the event and in continuation of its work. A generous supporter, Mrs. Victoria Woodhull Martin, has promised £1,000 conditionally upon at least an equal amount being raised by subscription. On behalf of the society we earnestly invite your generous

help to secure this gift.—Sincerely trusting that you will realise the special urgency of this appeal, We are, Sir, &c., WEARDALE, Chairman of Executive.

C. C. WAKEFIELD, Chairman, Finance Committee., H. S. PERRIS, Secretary.

1 Central Buildings, Westminster, S.W. 1.
