AN APPEAL FOR PARIS.
[To THE Burros or THE "SPECTATOR:] SIR, —I wish to correct a statement in Miss I. S. Wolff's letter of the 3rd inst. where she says : " By their means [Miss Wolff refers to my wife and myself] a British Red Cross hospital has been established, &c., &c." Your correspondent is evidently under an entire misapprehension. Neither my wife nor I can claim the distinction so kindly attributed to us. The true facts of the case are these, and an official statement setting them forth more fully will appear in the Times and other leading English newspapers. On September 2nd Dr. Leonard Robinson was authorized by Sir Alfred Keogh, K.C.B., on behalf of the Commission of the British Red Cross Society and of the St. John Ambulance Associa- tion, to act for the Society in Paris. A Paris branch of the Society was immediately formed, and all the work of pro- viding hospital accommodation, organizing ambulance con- voys, providing food, clothing, and blankets, &c., has been carried out by the Committee, and the British clergy in Paris were organized by the Society as a band of almoners.—
