W. have nerved toe following letter from Lord
Mentions*, reepecting the fire which occurred at Can.
ford Rouse on the Ito id January
ofo —My attention has been drawn Ii a persgraph
in the local papers regarding the above, Is which it
waa made to appear that wool lerable damage hal bees
caused to lb furniur. and effects, by the rough
manner la which they were handled.
I have now had time to makes careful examination,
end trust you will allow in., through the medium
your twinning, to correct the inaccuracy of this
report.
Considering the delicate nature of rine of the
articles which were removed, J[lolll4lll/ a great deal of
very fragile and valuable china, and the rapidity with
which /be removal wee elected, ill. perfectly voider.
Id that so lit.le damage wae done, and it shows the
raiding care which was taken by the kind friends
and neighbours who lent us their assistance, that this
should be the can.
I am anxious to take this opportunity of thanking
most heertily all those who laboured most williarly
and energetically in eithiguishin4 the fire, and without
whose ready help it could not hare been so speedily
accompUehed.
I teal that my special ackuowledgmants ars dr to
the Wimbonee and Orford Fire Brigaded, by wbc"
exertion, the fire was gut under, an well as those of
Poole and Bournemouth, who meows/led with the
utmost efisority to the cell, and whose services would
have been very invaluable had the fire gained greater
hold on the building.
In oonclusion I would fain tender, in the ores of
Lady Wimborais and myself, our warmest tbaaks to
all those who laboured an rergetiodly on Our behalf
and whose kindly harts prompts i them to lend nd.
ling bands to our assistenoe In the mnerriacy.—Youn
faithfully,

Wims 'ail.
