From that organisation a letter has already been received acknowledging the gift, which reads, inter alia: - "Will you please convey to your members our sincere thanks on behalf of the folk who will receive a share of this very acceptable gift. The recipients will be informed that this has come from your centre, and I am sure you will, in time, receive individual letters of thanks from them. As these letters are usually sent by sea mail, it may be some time before they reach you." Parcels of clothing had been delivered to the Red Cross Centre, Wanganui, by Mrs. Handley.
