THE ROYAL FLYING CORPS HOSPITAL.
(To THE EDITOR Or THE " SPECTLTOR."3 SIR.—It has been found that the accommodation of the Royal Flying Corps Hospital for sick and wounded pilots and observers at 37 Bryanston Square, which has since its inception been wholly maintained by private contributions, is no longer adequate to meet the demands which the growth of the Corps, the development of aerial fighting, and the physical effects of constant flying at great altitudes now make upon it. It has therefore become necessary to .extend the existing accommodation by acquiring additional premises, involving expenditure which it would not be possible to meet by further demands upon private generosity. In these circumstances, it has been decided to make a publio appeal through the Press for funds to carry on the work of the Hospital, as it is felt that the public have only to be made aware of the need, and the response will bo unhesitating and immediate. As I feel sure that the work of the Hospital will have the support and sympathy of the Spectator, I am writing to you in the hope that you may find space in your columns to give some publicity to this appeal.—I am, Sir, &c., DAVID HENDERSON, Lieut.-General, President of the Royal Flying Corps Hospital. 37 Bryanston Square, W.
