LEPER APPEAL
Sir, —We wish from our-hearts to thank your numerous readers and the general public for the magnificent response made to the appeal for the lepers at Maltogai. Altogether we received the splendid sum of £4574 in cash and about 100 cases «n useful goods* Owing to the unsettled times in which we are living we have advised Dr C. J. Austin, the Medical Superintendent to conserve and lay aside some money for future years.There are now 635 patients on the island and the result of our appeal will enable all the patients (particularly the bed ridden ones) to receive little delicacies and gifts on numerous occasions during the yea? In July last we formed an incQrporated Trust Board of 15 gentlemen to continue these appeals for suffering humanity and we wish to express our personal appreciation of the confidence that has been placed in our board. In conclusion we express the wish that .all who helped the appeal in any way whatsoever may share in the joy of the patients during the New Year. Yours sincerely, T. Fletcher Telford M.D. P. R. Climie, J.P. P. J. Twomey Trustees Mnkogai Lepers' (N.Z.) Trust Board.
