SIR.—Your correspondent does us less than justice. We are certainly willing to accept £75,000 for a half-crown, but we are not all selfish- ness. Every Wednesday it gives me the utmost pleasure to think that there is some supremely happy person with £75,000, to whose happi- ness my half-crown has been a modest contribution.—Yours faithfully, WINSTON C. E. HARTLEY, Flat 3, 18 West Clifle Grove, Harrogate.
