COLLECT OLD STAMPS St. Patrick’s, Poona, India, September 1, 1919. very Dear Friend,— Our missions have been hard hit by war, famine, and disease. The distress and poverty existing in some of our missions is great. As cash is hard to get, we ask charitable persons all over to gather and send us all the cancelled stamps they can. One may be too poor, sick, etc., to send money, but even children may thus help. For who is too poor or too small a child to gather old stamps. By doing this, you will help the missions substantially. We only ask the crumbs that fall from the table. The stamps thrown away daily in a large city would keep a mission for a whole year ! Sincerely in Christ, (Rev.) Henry Westropp, S.J.
