FRIENDS OF HOLLAND

Sta,—Following the appeal in this paper I have received a whole-hearted response and I should_ like to thank you all for your great generosity. There is however one thing which I must rectify; it is no longer possible to send food to Holland as this is now in the hands of the Ministry of Food who have generously dropped 'the supplies which were needed so very badly; but all kinds of clothing, Shoes, underwear, furniture, black- out curtains, fire watchers' blankets and beds can still be sent. The spirit of comradeship in which your gifts are made, I can assure you, will bring comfort and encouragement to the Dutch people who, although happily are now free, still live under tragic conditions.—Yours truly, . Lt.-Col. Dr. A. M. MEERLOO. Netherlands Welfare Commissioner. [Goods for the Help Holland Council should be sent to the Council's warehouse addressed c/o Andrew Clement and Sons, Az Warehouse, Cotton's Wharf Yard, Toole)! Street, S.E.
