Only a few weeks ago H.R.H. The Duke of York opened our new Nurses' Home, saw over everything, and expressed his delight with the whole organization : that evening our Hon. General Secretary, Mr. I. H. Watson, was rewarded for his wonderful (unpaid) work as organizer with the Honorary Freedom of Newcastle-on-Tync.—I am, Sir, &c.,

HOWARD PEASE.
