AN OBJECT OF CHARITY.[169]

To the Editor of "The Daily Telegraph."

Sir: Except in "Gil Blas," I never read of anything Astræan on the earth so perfect as the story in your fourth article to-day.

I send you a check for the Chancellor. If 40, in legal terms, means 400, you must explain the further requirements to your impulsive public.

I am, Sir, your faithful servant,
J. Ruskin.
Denmark Hill, S., Jan. 21, 1868.
