Books for Rumania

Sir: In your letters page (2 June) you published a letter from Tim Heald and Simon Brett asking for books to be sent to me. The response was exceptional, but unfortunately most of the books arrived while I was on my summer vacation. I shall of course be writing to everybody in due course; however, some of the packages were damaged and the addresses illegible.

For this reason I would ask you to publish this letter by way of thanks to all those who responded to the appeal.
