APPRECIATION FROM ENGLAND
The following letter from M. C. Lambert, of the Perthshire County Clothing Depot, Scotland, was read at the meeting yesterday of the Lady Galway Patriotic Guild Committee:— "Dear Friends,—l write to thank you with all my heart for the 'wonderful boxes of clothing which you have sent to this country for the benefit of our sufferers from the war. We in this area have .received several of these cases and I cannot tell you how grateful the recipients are for these welcome and much-needed garments. "In some cases whole families who have lost their possessions through enemy action have been helped by welcome gifts of clothing, and at other times the things have gone to the children in the hostels. I wish you could see their pleasure at getting such fine clothes. These children who live in the hostels—old country houses adapted for the purpose—are so much the better of their country life, and a number of them are growing to like it and have ceased to long for the Glasgow streets.
"We and they feel we can never sufficiently thank those friends in New Zealand who are doing so much to help and hearten us in every way."
