KING’S RECOVERY

“AUDAX’S” THANKS OFFERING DEEP APPRECIATION BY HIS MAJESTY INTEREST IN HOSPITAL FUND (British Official Wireless,) Rugby, April 60. The following letter has been addressed by Lord Stamfordham, the King’s Private Secretary, to “Audax,” the donor of a gift of 100,000 guineas to the Thanks Offering Fund for the King’s recovery:— “Dear ‘Audax,’ —The proposal to express your gratitude for the King’s recovery in the noble and generous manner indicated in your letter is welcomed with feelings of deep appreciation by His Majesty. The sum of 100,000 guineas will indeed form a splendid nucleus to the appeal made by King Edward’s Hospital Fund for London, and the King knows by experience that whatever the amount of this thanks 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 his long and serious illness, the King recognises his debt of gratitude to the doctors, surgeons, and nurses, and that it is in the great hospitals that both medical science has developed, and the nursing profession has been trained to its present standard of excellence.” BEQUEST BY LATE LORD REVELSTOKE (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.’) Australian Press Assn.—United Service. London, April 30. The late Lord Revelstoke bequeathed £lOO,OOO to King Edward’s Hospital Fund. ,
