WOUNDED SOLDIERS AND THE ZOO

[To Cie Editor of the SPECTATOR.]

Sm.,—The articles on the Zoo which have appeared in two recent issues of the Spectator must have been read by many Fellows of the Zoological Society. May I appeal to any of these Fellows who can spare undated tickets to send me some to enable me to take to the Zoo parties of wounded soldiers ? Last year through the generosity of Fellows I was able to take 215 patients ; this year the tickets have been more scarce, yet it would be difficult to find a place more popular with convalescent men or a visit more health-giving and instructive. The Gardens are equally enjoyed summer and winter and in the approaching season are less crowded for men on crutches or with other disabilities.—I am, Sir, &c.,
