QUEEN MARY’S SYMPATHY
FROM OUR SPECIAL ' CORRESPONDENT. LONDON, October 6,
A pretty story of Queen Mary is told this week. Her Majesty is keenly interested in the prevention of consumption, and she. recently visited a patient who is being treated at a shelter at Crathie. The following letter was afterwards sent to Dr. Hendry, of Balmoral: "The Queen has visited the patient at Cratbio for whom you recently erected a shelter. Her Majesty, who was much interested, thoroughly examined the shelter, and was very much pleased with it. The patient gave a most satisfactory account of her experience of it. The Queen wishes rne .to say that when- yon have decided on the best method of heating for the colder winter nights, she would be obliged if you will supply, at her Majesty's expense, a similar shelter for the use of the patients connected with the Balmoral estates. The Queen's shelter would renlace the one you so kindly supplied, and the latter would be available for a case elsewhere. The Queen wishes in this w-ay to help you in your valuable work in the country."
