MAGNIFICENT RESPONSE
110 Tbt Editor l Sir. —On behalf of our leper friends and the Nursing Sisters at Makogai. «'• desire to thank most warmly the people of New Zealand for the magnificent response made to our appeal. Sixty-five cases of useful goods hive been shipped from Lyttelton. In ad--1 dition to this we received the splendid f sum of £3.209 in cash. Quite recently fifty additional lepers from a New Zealand dependency were sent to Mftkogai. and there are now 633 patients to share our generosity. It will be a pleasure for all donors to know that they have helped to create a spirit of joy and new hope in the life of some lonely suffering soul. To use a leper’s words. “It is just these things | that make our lives bearable and worth I living." I It is our intention to form a repre- | sentative Committee in order to ensure ! continuity of this appeal which is now I of Dominion wide interest. ! In conclusion, we wish to thank all contributing friends for the confidence reposed in both of us as trustees, and it is our sincere wish that they too will feel gratified in having, through their i remembrance and contributions, ! brought happiness to our Leper patients. —Your, etc., T. FLETCHER TELFORD, P. J. TWOMEY. Joint Trustees. Makogai Leper Fund. * Christchurch, Bth Dec.
