COMMITTEE OF COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR EDUCATED WOMEN.

I To TEE Ennos or nix "SracrAmE."J

SIR,—Some time ago you were kind enough to publish an appeal from us for funds. I write to thank all those who have sent us contributions for their generous help, and to beg others to follow their example. We have at present received about £90, a sum which, useful as it is, will not justify us in starting an office here for inquiries and inteviews, or agencies in the Colonies for providing us with the information we want. Since our appeal was published we have received numerous letters from all parts of the United Kingdom telling us how greatly delighted the writers are to hear of the inauguration of an information office for educated women, and how much the need of some organisation of the kind has been felt. A large number of cases has already been dealt with by the chairman and secretary, and advice and help have been given ; but to carry on the work on a broad and efficient scale further funds are needed.—I am, Sir, &c.,
