CLOTHING FOR NEAR EASTERN REFUGEES. [To the Editor of the

SPECTATOR.]

SIR,—In answer to the appeal in your columns for clothing for the Near Eastern refugees a generous response was made. Owing to shortness of time it was found impossible to acknow- ledge individually each parcel of clothing sent to 8 Carlton House Terrace (lent as a depot by Lady Brownlow). Would those who so kindly sent contributions of clothes before December 1st accept the thanks of the Committee through these columns ? In all twenty-two bales were sent off to the British Embassy Committee on H.M.T. Iluntsend ' from Southampton to Constantinople.—! am, Sir, &e., Little Gaddesden House, Berkhampstead. B. E. TALBOT.
