Conference.-The n. o. Convalescent Home is
making an effort to complete its maintenance
fund, with the object OF increasing its facilities
for taking of the patients sent there by the
Charity Hospital, and desires to petition your
board for subscription for the year 1908. I
need not remind you that the Charity Hospital
for lack OF room must send its patients to the
Convalescent Home as quickly as possible
These conyalescents, poor and too weak to
work, coming from every parish in Louisiana
are nursed back to health and are ready to re-
sumo their accustomed work when DISCHARGED
from the Home.
We expect to complete the fund this year.
which will happily remove the necessity of
further appeals by the Home.
