A MUSICAL LIBRARY FOR THE BLIND.
[To THE EDITOR Or THE " SPECTATOR."] Sin,-Tbe urgent necessity of a library for the blind where manuscript Braille music can be borrowed is in these times manifest to all of us. When we consider the numerous sad cases of soldiers and sailors who in early manhood are doomed to live in darkness, we should be wanting in gratitude and patriotism if we did not do all in our power to alleviate their terrible misfortunes. Miss Laura Strickland's scheme for helping blind musicians to help themselves is well thought out and organized, and I have every belief in its bona fides, and consider that subscribers will assist philanthropic work of national importance.
—1"am, Sir, &C., JOHN Beraem. Park House, IVanstead, Essex.
[Miss Strickland's scheme for a musical lending library for the blind has previously been described in the Spectator. Miss Strick- land's address is 109 Cloys Road, Forest Gate, E., and those who desire more information should communicate direct with her and not with us.—ED. Spectator.]
