TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES
SIR,—Robin McDouall finds that 'in the lesser Mediterranean islands, they have never heard of the dear National Provincial' and recommends 'Cook's or the American Express for travellers' cheques.'
I too bank at the 'dear National Provincial,' but have a subsidiary account at Lloyds. I find that. owing to confusion between Lloyds Bank and another institution of the same name, travellers' cheques issued by Lloyds are treated with the greatest reverence . . . and that not only in the lesser Mediterranean islands.' So I use these wherever I go; and if you print this letter the Manager of my Branch of the 'dear National Provincial' will knOw the reason why I never use his travellers' cheques.— Yours faithfu'lly, CHARLES H.
