LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
DERWENT WATER PRESERVATION: A GENEROUS OFFER.—(. See Borrowdale and die.") (TO THE EDITOR OP THE "SPECTATOR.") SIR,—Miss Octavio Hill's letter in the Spectator of July 27th should stir the hearts of those who, like myself, have had life made happier on the spot and fancy enlivened by acquaint- ance with Borrowdale from Keswick up to Styhead Pass, Esk House, Bowfell, and the lovely tarns it overshadows. It would indeed be a misfortune to let the present opportunity escape of securing for others' enjoyment the possession of a national park in this lovely district. As there is no time to spare if the purchase is to be completed, I have written to Miss Hill to say that I will give £100 towards that end if nine others will come forward with similar sums before neit Lady Day. The interest you have all along shown in this purchase encourages me to hope that you may find a space for this proposal in the Spectator.—I am, Sir, &c., A STROLLER.
[All who care for the Lakes will feel deeply grateful to our correspondent for his generous offer. Those who cannot join the noble ten as individuals might constitute themselves into an artificial, person (composed of ten persons each giving £10), and so help to get the nine 21130 notes before next Lady Day.—En. Spectator.]
