THE NATIONAL TRUST AND KYMIN HILL. A CHALLENGE.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR.”) SIR,—Much encouraged by what I have seen of the result of the action of the National Trust in securing an indescribably beautiful estate for the public on the shores of Derwentwater, I feel that all lovers of scenery in the Wye Valley may well be called upon to help to raise the necessary purchase price of "The Kymin." I am given to understand that nearly 2100 out of the £400 necessary is raised, but that unless the balance can be obtained by December 8th the bargain falls to the ground. I mil willing to offer £2.5 if ten others will join, or £10 if twenty-five will subscribe. I cannot but hope that the men of Monmouthshire will help, and that all who care for our naval traditions will be glad to join in this effort.—I am, Sir, &c., RAMBLER. P.S.—Subscriptions should be sent to the Secretary, National Trust, '25 Victoria Street, Westminster.
