esting letter from her son. Private
George Coyle, of the University of
Virginia Hospital Unit, now situated
at Base Hospital, No. Al, in Paris.

with windows on each side, where
four rows of beds have been placed
leaving plenty of space to circulate
among them These rooms too are
very high, light, spacious and airy
and out of some of the windows the
grey stone and the green roofs of St

look out the broad expanse of park
with open meadows surrounded by
trees under which the convalescing
patients have delightful walks. An.

are:
The classes of patients for which
this hospital has been opened are:
First-The poor.
Second-Those who have homes in
which isolation OF the sick is impos
sible
Third-Others who can pay in part
or in full for their care.
For the poor no charge is to be made.
For those able TO pay the full charge
for their care such charge is to be
based on a rate of 81 per week.
Those in financial circumstances of
such nature that they can not pay
the full charge shall pay such part Of
the full charge Is they are able to pay.
L is the intention of these rules to
Tx = maximum charge Tor only those
who are able to pay in full. But thc
question OF pay is not TO exclude any
