R. SAPIo, THE SINGER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin, - By your paper of last evening I sea that this gefiti
tleman, who was once the primo tenore of Covent Garden, 81/0(
afterwards a private teachtr of music, is now in a o°4lo
complete destitution in a garret at Edgeware-road.
unexpected inform tion surprises me and grieves me, °lip
was only some few years ago that I engaged this respect' et
man to give my children lessons in music at my own h°l.ll9iti
and in bearing this testimony to the propriety and iolAl
with which he performed his engagements, you would ro"01
oblige me if you would be the medium of conveying
one guinea, and I am sure he will thank The Sun for OW'
known his case.—Yours, obediently,
DALETII'
