TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

sir—You will much oblige an old admirer and sub-
scriber to your excellent Paper, by inserting the following
letter to the Duke of Wellington : •
My Loan Dora—l hope your Grace will pardon the liberty
I take in addressing you, particularly as I write anonymously, bat
though a very old Field Officer, I feel too humble a subject to
make use of my own name ; the subject, I trust, will be a
salli-
cient excuse, I shall therefore intrude no longer on your Grace's
valuable time, confident that no person can feel snore aentely than
your Grace the loss of our late invaluable Commander-in-Chief,
to you more valuable than any other, as thrOugh his wonderful
attention to the discipline of the Army, may be attributed in a
great degree your Grace's glorious success in arms ; may I
then call to your Grace's attention the propriety of proposing a
general subscription of one day's pay from each individual rank in
the Army, towards erecting a suitable Monument to the memory
of our late beloved Commander-in-Chief, or towards discharging
his Royal Highness's debts, as your Grace shall think Most At,
perhaps the latter might be more congenisl bo. our late noble
Commander's feelings than the former, in either case, this sub-
scription to be open to all Officers who may have retired from the
Army, but otherwise confined to the Military.
That your Grace mar follow the example of one who has so
conspicuously shown as -Commander-in-Chief, is the sincere wish
of your Grace's admirer and humble servant,
AN OLD FIELD OFFICER.
