1.-The beneficent work in which you are
engaged for the suppression of the causes
and conditions Of tuberculosis in Ireland
deserves encouragement from every we'll
wsher Of that dear land. In particular
your child welfare work must appeal

diverted, in large measure. the gener-
Gus contributions through which your
noble humanitarian work was being
carried on with growing success.

your charitable works will meet with
hearty response.
These works commend themselves
not only to all who love Ireland. but
also to the countless thousands to whom
the needs of tender, helpless babes ant
infants appeal most forcibly. God bles:

in the past and sustain you always ir
