From Mr John Verney Sir: Thank you for printing the

excellent article on fox-hunting. Addicted as I am to The Spectator, I must say I never expected to read in it an article which proves, in the right-wing's own backyard, that you don't have to be mad, bad or a Leftie to abhor hunting and hunters.
