THOMAS KEN AND IZAAK WALTON 199 



of September 22, 1894, will explain how the 

 Memorial originated — 



" St. Dunstan's House, Fetter-lane, London. 



"September, 1894. 



" It was decided at a meeting of delegates 

 from the principal London angling associations, 

 held at Broxbourne under the presidency of 

 Mr. Wm. Senior, the Angling Editor of the 

 Field, to celebrate the tercentenary of Walton's 

 birth — that, as there was no memorial of 

 Walton in London, steps should be taken to 

 provide one, and Mr. Marston was asked to 

 take the matter in hand." 



Mr. Marston had previously written to the Rector 

 of St. Dunstan's in the West, with which Church 

 Walton was so long connected, and received the 

 following reply — 



" St. Dunstan's Vestry, 

 " Fleet-street, E.G. 



'' My dear Mr. Marston,— 



" I cordially approve of your sug- 

 gestion, and I am very grateful to you for 

 writing to me about it.
