 but it seems to touch them, to think
 that ladies away over in America had
 made them We hope to be able te
 continue sending these things over
 for some time as France and Belgium are entirely unable to give any assist ance to their poor. and @ | trust youl ladies will continue working for the babies just as hard as though the wa. were still going on"
