Il am desired by her majesty to thank

they were sent off at different times,
they all arrived here within a few days
of each other The queen was delighted
with the generosity which prompted
this magnificent gift. The absorbent
cotton is especially valuable, as 1t is
getting very expensive, and the ether
was lnOeeu a welcome GIT
THE recent heavy fighting has
brought in many urgent appeals for
hospital requisites and many of your
cases and some of the ether were sent
off the very day they arrived TO our
casualty clearing stations and also to
Mesopotamia.
Il inclose you a letter of thanks from
one of the hospitals to which some of
your gifts were sent to give you some
idea of how much the things are appre-

The following is an extract from a
letter received by the headquarters in
London:
Hospital No. 9. La Cha pelle "a la Refine.
"A most pathetic little hospital in a
poor part of the country. Entirely run
by the contributions of peasants. Pa
ticnts very CHEEKY. No garden, so they
sit or lie by the roadside or take turns
In the wheelchairs. I am but the second
visitor they have had since the war be-
gan. They nearly wept on my neck
Be as generous as you can"
