DEAR Miss Wnrrrr,—I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, which I shall have much pleasure in laying before the "Star and Garter" Committee at their next meeting. I cannot wait until then, however, to express to you and to your Committee the grateful thanks which I feel, and which I know my Committee will also feel, for the very generous manner in which the British Women's Hospital have met the increased demands which we have made upon them. The sum of £100,000 which your Committee are now kind enough to undertake to raise for us will provide a splendid building perfectly equipped, and will be a magnificent memorial of the devotion of the British women to the men Who fought for them in the Great War. May I add one word of personal thanks for the very kind way in which you have helped us to overcome our difficulties 1—Yours
