BRITISH GRATITUDE FOR CLOTHING GIFTS

Mrs F. Moran, convener of the Whakatane branch of the Ex-Lady Galway Guild, received the following letter from Mrs Fletcher Moorshead- vice-president of the London Medical Mission, thanking her organisation for the parcels of clothing that it had sent to them for needy patients on the Mission register:— This little note comes to you, and through you to each of the members of the Ex-Lady Galway Guild and it brings very many thanks for two consignments of clothing which have reached the Mission during the pafet week. We are most grateful for everything—especially in these days when it is almost impossible to pass on second-hand clothing for everyone is wearing their own old rags! So please accept our grateful thanks for this and all other generous kindness. We are just ■ overwhelmed by .your thought and gifts to us, and many of the three hundred names we have on our books as patients .send you their warmest thanks. We have lots of needy and lonely folk and in. these days when life all around us is so difficult for the poor we are specially grateful for help from the other side of the world.

You suggested the possibility of sending a parcel to one individual patient—but if I may suggest it, the better plan is to send to me at the Mission and there I—or one of the workers—will see that the most needy person at the time when the parcel comes, gets the help.
