tly in a hurry, put the helm hard-watarboard, running

the use of the sick and wounded at the Hospital, Scutari :-
800 pints strong gravy rump, 300 pinta chicken broth, 300
pinta mutton broth, 300 pints oz cheek soup, all very con- I
castrated, xi as to bear great dilation. Mr. Gamble has'
since received the following letter of acknowledgment :
" Lay Stratford de Redcliffe has much pleasure in inform-
ing Mr. Gamble of the safe arrival of the 42 cases, emit iln-
iag broths and soups, and for which she and Miss Niglitin•
gale beg to eapress their thanks on behalf of the poor.

greatest boon. The broths are most acceptable, and Lady
Strati ird will ensure their being distributed es most needed
in Vs* various hompit Is hen.—Constantinople, February 19,

Nightingale desires me to acknowledge the remipt of your
most liberal present addressed to her and Viscronatets Sirat-
r.rd, which arrived satiety P.B.—At

his kind and liberal donation of preserved meats has been to
the sick and wounded under her charge. Lady Stratford
forwarded twenty boles to Kulnlee from &u'ari. It is
sweetly what is most wanted out here. The sick are con-
stantly requiring nourishment of a kind that cannot other-
wise be procured. Mr. Gamble would feel amply repaid
for his kindness If he could hear the expressions of delight
with which the sick men receive the soup. 'Ab ma'am,
that's the tbuig to do me good, that is beautiful. If I could
get enough of that I should lies. God bless you for that.'

easily to give the poor patients so great a Inzury.—Kululse
Hospital, Constantinople, Marsh 4, 1835."
