DOT TO HER LITTLE FOLK.

My Dear Little N Folk,- You have had a now to think over the suggestion made to you last week by Harry and Awkward Ned that the Little Folk of the Witness rfura'd subscribe enough money to endow a cot in the Dunedin Hospital,, m msmory^ of tb«ir dead friend, Dot. It is an idea, feat ha* pleased me very much, and I think yoa will all want to help It is particularly litting that we should perpetuate his memoiy by doing good to children, since he spent a Urge part of hi* own life that way. We shall, by doing this, b3b 3 passing his goodness on I think that is '-he very best way to i!bcm thai we ?ove<> him, and knew our privilege in the contact of his life wuli V T' £ hall be gHd to adopt the suggestion . ol Harry and Awkward K-ed, that present Little Folk stibscriptions be limited to Is each. However small the subscription is, no Little Foltf need hesitate about sending it. if oniy 1$ is sent cut of a desire to do a, little good for his sake. Further, any parents or older people who wish to do so may contribute tc th Of fl tho" iwo title* proposed to you for the cot, I should very much prefer it to be called the "WilHam Fenwick Cot.' 1 f cc ',,^ I "}f Folk, lam Dot, aud if it were called J_ Dot t. Cot" it might be a Uttle confusing Whereas, i-Jnce you nil know now that wilha.ji *Wick was tho r.ame of your first Dot, tko can be no doubt, if it, is called tho •'Wil.iam Fenwick Cot" in wnose name the cot stands there. Do you agree with me in this ' I Vball ks gl*d ♦* take charge ol any snoecxiptions that are e*nt to me for the memorial co Dot. They will be acknowledged in the page aa they come m ... T Now juit one work of thanks before 1 clooc.
