Colonial stamps are much sought after, and in a poor district such as this they are rarely obtained by the children. themselves.

I should be very grateful if Colonial stamps could be sent here, so that they could be distributed to the children, and- should like to know the address of any business firm or stamp dealers who would be willing to let us have them.--I am, Sir, &e.,
