MRS THACHER'S PRIZES.
Lausanne, July 20th, 1928. Dear Miss Henderson. 1 have jusi received a letter from Mrs William F. Thaoher, our World s W.C.T.U. Superintendent of Work Among Soldiers and Sailors,, and she sends me word that the prize she offered in her department three years ago for the nation which should first send in the name and address of the Superintendent, has been won by New Zealand* She does not give me the Department Superintendent’s name. I am sending you the money—lo dols.—which she stipulates is to be used for the promotion of department work, with the request that you will kindly see that the right person gets it. In addition to this prize, Mrs Thacber offered a prize of 50 dols. for the best report, and she says New Zealand and Australia reports are so nearly equal she has divided the amount, giving 2 5 dols. to each That brings the amount to 35 dols., and I haw made over Mrs Thacher’s checks to you, so that you can cash them and see that they are handed to the right person. Mrs Thacher is surely very generous. We are truly sorry not to have New Zealand represented in our Congress this coming week. With love to you all, in great haste, Affectionately, ANNA A GORDON.
