LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

COMMONS PRESERVATION SOCIETY.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SrR,—On behalf of the Society for the Preservation of Commons and Footpaths I desire to tender their best thanks to you for the generous appeal you have made hi the columns of the Spectator on behalf of the Society. The result of the appeal has been most gratifying. It will have the effect I so much desired, of putting the Society in a favourable financial position, so as better to carry out its work for the protection of public rights—a work for which the Spectator has always shown so much sympathy.—I am, Sir, &c., EVERSLEY. .25 Victoria Street.
