British Official Wireless
Reed. 11.20 a.m. RUGBY. Tuesday. The following letter has been addressed by Lord Stamfordham, the King’s private secretary, to .“Audax,” the donor of the gift of 100,000gns. to a thank-offering fund for the King’s recovery.
“Dear Audax, —The proposal to express your gratitude tor the King’s recovery in the noble and generous manner indicted in your letter, is welcomed with a feeling of deep appreciation by his Majesty. The 100,000 guineas will indeed form a splendid nucleus to the appeal made by the King Edward’s Hospital fund for London, and the King knows by experience that whatever the amount of this thank offering, it will be wisely and effectively administered by the council for almost 30 years. “His Majesty has taken the deepest interest in the fund, of which he was president for some nine years, and he realises what the hospitals of London owe to its admirable work and administration. Moreover, at this time of recovery from a long and serious illness, the King recognises his debt of gratitude to the doctors, sur geons and nurses, and that it is in the great hospitals that both medical science has daveloped and the nursing profession has been trained to its present standard of excellence.”
Lord Revelstoke has bequeathed £IOO,OOO to the King Edward’s Hospital Fund.
