WOUNDED.—Boulogne-sur-Mer,
1: October 3, 1870.—Gentlemen,—In the name of our little
Local Committee, I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your
cheque for £3O, and also of the several cases of admirably
selected things for the hospitals, of which the invoice has ar-
rived, and which will probably be followed to-day by the cases
themselves. General Sir V. Eyre, Mr. Blundell, and Mr. Merri-
dew, who have been travelling the last fortnight in all the
north-east of France, down as far as Sedan, to inquire into the
most urgent needs of the many hospitals and ambulances, re-
turned only late on Saturday last very tired, and with an accu-
mulation of business to attend to ; for we are now here in regu-
lar communication with the head nurses and surgeons of all
these hospitals, who send in their requisitions here, and which
are attended to as promptly and efficiently as our stores and
means permit. But with all our great aid from the Central
London National Society and from yourselves—so munificently
both in stores and money, and from many private sources in
England—our resources are still quite inadequate to the suppli-
cations for aid we receive, and which the three gentlemen have
themselves verified as most warranted by facts. A General
Meeting of the Boulogne Subscribers and Committee is to be
held to-morrow, when your liberal donations will be laid be-
fore them and publicly acknowledged. Dr. Liviors, the well-
known and mostly highly-esteemed ex-Mayor,of Boulogne, sent
letters last Friday to six of the leading papers in England
acknowledging your most liberal and efficient donations, the
contents of your cases being especially good and valuable.
With the repeated thanks of our. Committee,
I remain, Gentlemen, yours faithfully,
CATHERINE A. EYRE.
Messrs. Piesse and Lubin.
