has just left Mr.. Holidays Office with six
patients. They are all who have been sent

The want of provisions is felt here sensi

persons desiring to contribute to Portsmouth
would direct their gifts to Portsmouth,, and
not to the Howard Association of Norfolk

without protector by the death of both pa

red, and when they left they had become
yellow.

are totally incompetent to do any good by
prescriptions, and are unwilling to fill the pO-
sitiOn of nurses. One ofthese gentlemen has

tears.
