THE "SPECTATOR'S " PUBLIC.

[To THE EDITOR or THE " SPECTATOR."]

Sie,—The following extract from my brother's letter, received on Friday week from the front, where he is with a Heavy Artillery, battery, I thought might interest you :-

" After having no mail at all for nearly a week, I got one kt- day, and the Spectator and the Grand. Many thanks for the Spectator. Even if I did not read it, it would be welcomed by my servant, who has abandoned — -- in its favour, sent 5s. to the ` Strength of Britain' movement, purchased fifty copies of ` Christ in Flanders,' and ordered A Student in Arms for his wife. This man, I may add, is not a Kitchener soldier, but an old Regular Reservist, and not particularly literate, though he is by trade a skilled workman—to wit, a telephone fitter in the service of the P.M.G."
