The offer was accepted with thanks. "This sum will bring the donations to the orphanage from this gentleman to £13,600,” said Mr. F. Higginson, a member of the board and also a trustee of the orphanage. He had given £lOOO for the site of the orphanage, £lO,OOO as a trust fund for the maintenance of the institution, and £6OO toward the building.
