So I put my monies and clothing to work and look to start them for Canada next Wednesday where my sister, Mrs Merry, has good : homes prepared for them,' It is difficult to go on year after year tolling ofthe needof the poor children, but tho horrors done to them are heartbreaking. I look at one to-day,.too weak to be sent, away with the others, owing to tho ill-treat-ment sho has received from her own mother May my thanks be accepted by every contributor of the £9 just received, and to you, dear Mr Marsh for thus remembering your toiling siator. This is almost the first contribution I have ever teoejved from Australia. Yours gratefully, Apa McPhersox.
