RECLUSE’S £looo GIFT
More than £IOOO, representing nearly one-third of her estate, together with her personal trinkets, has been left by an elderly spinster to the Princess Beatrice Hospital, in London. The woman was Miss Anglinga Smith, who lived as a recluse in a single room at Fulham. None of the other occupants of the house, or her neighbours, regarded her in any other way than as a poor woman. She lived so frugally that neighbours were astonished to learn that she died leaving £3500. To 12 of her women friends she left £2OO each. Her largest bequest was to the Princess Beatrice Hospital, where she was unknown.
