CANADA'S POSTAL GRIEVANCE.

[To THE EDITOR OP THE " SPECTATOR."]

Sin,—Referring to Mr. MacMurchy's letter in your issue of the 2nd inst., in which he mentions the work of the Aberdeen Association in collecting and distributing good second-hand books and magazines to outlying settlers in Canada who cannot procure them for themselves, may I beg for space to mention that this Association has a collecting branch in England, and sends out consignments every two months or so from the Imperial Institute ? Prepaid parcels of literature may be sent at any time, addressed to the secretary, Aberdeen Association, Imperial Institute. Such parcels will be most gratefully received and duly forwarded to Canada.—I am, Sir, &c., (Mrs.) CAROLINE GORDON,

Hon. Sec., Aberdeen Association. Imperial Institute, London, S. W.
