SIR:I refer to the news item 'RSPCA Honours' (BEN June 6 1997).

I would like to point out that I was honoured to receive the award, but the last paragraph of the story, stating that I went to considerable expense, was not strictly true

I initially paid for Solo's flight to Canada, but was reimbursed fully by Marion who has now become a very good friend.
