I enclose letter of thanks from the Association, Avliich will doubtless ho of interest, to you.”

I cannot tell you how grateful wo are for these, as daily we got numbers of fresh applicants in distress, and we are so glad to have clothes that we can give them to help them along. We cannot bear having to send” them away without giving them the clothes they desire, and deserve, and you are therefore helping our work considerably by the gift of clothes.”
