AN ORPHANAGE IN STRAITS.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."]
SIR,—Will you kindly allow me to thank an unknown friend, "M.," for a generous donation of £5 for the Upper Clapton Orphanage ? I have received altogether 1:22 10a, and have had a very grateful and touching letter from the foundress in acknowledgment of the remittance. The other kind and most welcome donations I have been able to acknowledge separately. While the generosity of those who have responded to the appeal you were so good as to insert last week has given the friends of the orphans new heart and courage, about £100 more will be needed before the institution is in smooth water again.
In addition to the above donations, a lady has very generously offered to take charge of the Orphanage free of charge while the foundress gets the rest that she so much needs.—I am, St. John's Vicarage, Bethnal Green, E., May 2nd.
