POINTS FROM LETTERS
SUNDAY.
The people of this country have the right to rational recrea- tion on Sunday as on every other day of the week, always providing that provision is made for one day's rest in seven and proper payment made to those who work on Sunday. With these safeguards I see no reason why cinemas or any other form of rational entertainment should be forbidden on Sunday.—JAcu JONES, House of Commons.
THOMAS PATC'.
Brigadier-General F. R. Patch and myself are collecting material for a short monogram on Thomas Patch, the Exeter artist, who went to Rome, and eventually settled in Florence, where he died in 1782. Biographical material concerning Patch is very scanty ; and though he is known to have been a prolific letter-writer none of his correspondence has so far come to light. Brigadier-General Patch and I should therefore be very grateful indeed if any of your readers could give us information concerning any unpublished documents or letters relating to Patch at any period of his career. Access to originals would, of course, be especially useful to us.—W. G. CONSTABLE, Athenaeum Club.
