My Lady,

The President and Council of this Institute have heard
of the death of Sir John Ellerman with the deepest regret.

Since its inception Sir John Ellerman, a past Vice-
President, has always interested himself in the Institute's
activities; a service for which the Institute cannot be too
grateful.

I am instructed to offer you, on behalf of the members
of the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers, the most sincere
sympathy and condolences.

I have the honour to be,

Your obedient Servant,

I am desired by H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught, Chairman, and the General Council of King George's Fund for Sailors to convey to you an expression of their warm condolences in the heavy loss which you and the Empire have sustained by the death of your husband Sir John Ellerman.

As a Vice-President of the Corporation, to which he was appointed on the inauguration of the Fund in 1917, he always took a warm interest in its progress and the cause for which it is working. Not only was he a generous supporter of the Fund, but he was also a most liberal friend to every association working for the welfare of seafarers and their dependants. It has been said, with truth, that he will long be remembered as one of the greatest forces behind British Shipping that has ever been known and on this account his passing away at this difficult juncture in the Empire's fortunes, and more particularly those of our great shipping industry, is a national misfortune.

In conveying this expression of the deep regret of the General Council in your bereavement, I beg that you will also accept my own warm personal sympathy in your great sorrow.

I should like to be permitted to associate myself with the Committee's sentiments on this sorrowful occasion.

Lady Ellerman's Protest.

The Editor,

"The Times".

Sir,

Lady Ellerman will have the sympathy and support of all decent people. I sometimes think that the Newspaper is the most horrible thing in modern life. They revel in all that is sordid, mean and trivial. They suppress the truth, and publish that which is false. I am quite aware that journalists have to satisfy their editors, or get fired, and editors have to satisfy their owners, or get fired. Newspaper proprietors will tell us that they give the public what they want, which is equivalent to saying that the public are vile, sordid, stupid and cowardly.

It is the newspaper proprietors who are vile, not the public.

I am, Sir,

your obedient servant,

late Middlesex Regt.,

3rd August, 1933.

Dear Mr Bonney,

I am delighted to get your letter of the 2nd
with the most generous donation from an anonymous
friend, which you enclose. I am, in accordance with
your instructions, crediting this gift of £500.0.0.
to the Clinical Research Work of the Cancer Wing,
which as you know is developing so rapidly and with
so much promise. I have heard from more than one
source that the statistical research of the Depart-
ment which Mr Pearce Gould quoted at the Dublin
Conference last week has excited great interest,
and there are several enquiries already for copies
of the five year analysis, but this work, and particu-
larly the Clinical Research in connection with the
one gramme Radium Unit is a costly business, and such
spendid support as this from your anonymous benefactor
is enormously encouraging and doubly welcome today.

I wish that it were possible for me and for the
Chairman to offer our thanks directly to the giver
and to tell him or her how wonderfully welcome this
great gift is, but I hope that you will be sure to
tell the donor something of the work of the Radium
Therapy and Research Department and particularly of
Windeyer's part in it, which this gift will go to
support. The reputation of this Department is growing
very rapidly among those who best know its subject and
has just been shown again by a request that we have
received from the Middlesex County Council that we
should act as directors and consultants for the Radio-
logical work in their Hospitals instead of their appoint-
ing their own independent chiefs. This is a great step
towards that co-ordination and co-operation which we are
so anxious to establish, particularly in radiological
work. Please tell the anonymous donor how very

THE MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL,
LONDON, W. 1.

18th September, 1933.

Dear Mr. Bonney,

Thank you so much for your letter of
the 15th with the really wonderful news that the
anonymous donor whose gift of £500 you sent us in
August, has decided to double it to make a total
gift to the Hospital for the advancement of Cancer
Research of £1,000.

I am enclosing our formal receipt
for the cheque which you have sent us and I wish it
were possible for me to convey directly to the donor
some idea of the gratitude we feel for this magnificent
gift. And I wish, too, that it were possible for the
donor to meet our Chairman and see something of the
Hospital whose special work in clinical research on
cancer that donor has done so much to help.

But you will, I know, have told him,
or her, of the developments which are taking place
here even since the first gift came on the 2nd August.
The separation of the X-Ray Department into two, X-Ray
Therapy and X-Ray Diagnosis, only decided upon in July
of this year after a great deal of very careful con-
sideration, is now so far forward that in a week or two's
time the name of the very distinguished physician who
will be appointed to take charge of X-Ray Diagnosis will
be announced. This leaves Dr. Douglas Webster free to
concentrate upon radio-therapy, in which his distinguished
reputation was made. The formation of the new Department
will also mean that more space, which has for some time been
badly wanted, will be freed for X-Ray Therapy work.

In the Department of Radium Therapy and
Research to which the donor's gift is allocated, the

(1)

summer Recess has not been an idle time. Work on
its big statistical research has been pushed forward
and I hope we can count on publication within the
next two to three months. Mr. Windeyer, too, is
taking a busman's holiday in Scandinavia, and is at
Gothenburg at the moment. It looks as though this
Department were going to prove of the utmost value,
not merely to ourselves in our work on cancer research,
but as an international clearing house for information
on the latest technique and results. But you can tell
the donor far better than I of the work which is
steadily going forward in these Departments.

It will give me the greatest pleasure
to inform the Board at their next meeting of this
great addition to our funds, and I know they would
wish me to ask you to convey to the donor an expression
of our very warm appreciation of such splendid generosity.

I am,

SECRETARY-SUPERINTENDENT.
