MRS. SHERWOOD.
[To THE EDITOR OP THE " SPECTATOR."] SIR,—A memorial to Mrs. Sherwood, of Fairchild Family fame, is shortly to be placed by subscription in the Cathedral at Worcester. She had for thirty-three years a happy home in that city, and passed her childhood at Stanford, a few miles distant. The marble tablet, recording her work as a writer and as a pioneer philanthropist in the cause of children, white and black, in India, will bear a portrait in relief, reproduced from a scarcely known picture. The charming head, in its voluminous frilled cap, is draped with a light veil. Some lover of Mrs. Sherwood may value an opportunity of helping to keep a fair• memory green. Mrs. Mortlock, Abington, Wigston, Leicester, is Secretary to the Memorial Fund.—I am, Sir, Sle., .
