[TO TEE EDITOR or THE "SPECTATOR. "] SIR,—In the article in

last Saturday's Spectator on " War Memorials" you suggest the formation of an Advisory Committee of men of letters to assist in providing satisfactory inscriptions for such public monuments. You hope that among its members would be found the names of Mr. Kipling and Sir H. Newbolt. May I venture to hope that to these might be added that of the Master of Trinity, who has been the writer of, in my humble opinion, some of the noblest inscriptions in our language in the last forty or fifty years ?—I am, Sir, &c.,

Wadhurst. ARTHUR G. WATSON. [Carried nem. con.—ED. Spectator.]
