Dear Miss Williams, The gift of the N.Z. Women’s Christian Temperance Union came like a gift of Heaven just in the moment when our Executive had decided to establish in the Ruhr District a standing Peace Mission, not for investigation (we know rather too much already about It), hut for permanent work of reconciliation. We wanted to start it w'ith English, French, and Swedish members as soon as we can raise the money to start with: the £8 10s you sent, together with part of a gift of the Boeke Trust, and one of the Swedish Section, ‘will enable the Mission to begin the work at once. Many thanks for your part in sending it. and kindest regards.—From yours, very sincerely, VTLMA OLUOKLIOH.
