METROPOLITAN ASSOCIATION FOR BEFRIENDING YOUNG SERVANTS.

LTO THE EDITOR OF THE " SrEursTort."J

Sia,—May I call your attention to the claims of this Society, the Central Office of which is at 14. Grosvenor Road, Westminster ? From their last report (which contains full details of their work, and of which I shall be glad to send you a copy, if desired), it appears that the Society began the present year with a balance of £250, but their necessary expenditure to the present time has so much exceeded their receipts, that this balance has been exhausted, and they have been compelled to borrow of their bankers a sum of £200.

We are most anxious to. wipe off this debt, and place the Society upon a firm basis for the coming year; and I, as treasurer, venture to ask for your kind assistance in this object, to relieve my fellow-workers from the anxiety and pressure which our exhausted finances create, and to enable us further to extend the useful and almost necessary work of the Society.
